Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur offers a majestic experience, best explored during the cooler months from October to March to avoid extreme heat. While the fort is perched on a hill, an elevator is available for an extra fee, though many stairs remain within, making it partially accessible. Visitors can explore independently with an excellent audio guide (often included in the foreign entry fee of around 600-700 INR, which typically also covers camera charges), or opt for a local human guide for deeper historical insights. A typical visit lasts 2-4 hours, allowing ample time to admire the stunning architecture, intricate palaces, and the museum's rich collections. Don't miss the panoramic views of Jodhpur's 'Blue City,' especially beautiful at sunset. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
