1) MEHRANGARH FORT: Mehrangarh Fort Outer View Perched on a 150 m high hill, its sprawl is the most formidable and magnificent fort in Rajasthan. Rao Jodha founded it in 1459, but subsequent rulers of Jodhpur have also added to it over the centuries. A meandering road leads to the city from the city 5 km below. Battle scars of canon balls hit by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot while defending the fort against the army of Amber. There are seven gates, which include Jayapol, meaning victory, built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over the Jaipur and Bikaner armies. Victory Gate View Fatehpol also meaning victory gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints still attract devotional attention and are covered by vermilion paste and paper-thin silver foil.

2) JASWANT THADA: On the way down from the fort, on left is Jaswant Jaswant Thada Outer View Thada, the graceful marble cenotaph of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. His son Maharaja Sardar Singh built this monument known as the Taj Mahal of Marwar in memory of Maharaj Jaswant Singh II of Jodhpur. The main memorial has been built like a temple with intricately carved marble stone. A visit to this structure is through the rocky hills giving it a secluded and mystic aura.
