Mehrangarh Fort: One of finest among Rajasthan forts, Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur is a magnificent and imposing structure, with a commanding view of the surrounding landscape. Seemingly growing out of the rocky cliff on which it is perched, the fort is situated at an altitude of about 125 metres and is spread over an area of 5 sq. km with seven gates. One could drive up or walk to the top of the small and not so steep hill. Driving or walking up, the sheer rock face from where emerges the tall and massive sandstone wall of Mehrangarh looks awesome indeed. Not to be missed when on Rajasthan tour.

The Chittaurgarh Fort epitomises the doomed romantic ideal of Rajput chivalry. The fort with its impressive location and colourful history is the main source of attraction in the town. The immense stretch of the walls and the ruined palaces relate the saga of innumerable sieges and heroism. The modern town of Chittor lies at the foot of the hill. Not to be missed during vacations in Rajasthan.

Golden fort or Sonar Kila:It is situated in Jaisalmer. Bhatti Chief Jaisal laid the foundation of the fort in 1156 A.D on Trikuta hill.

Even today, one fourth of the old city's population resides within the fort. A cross-cultural merging of Rajput and Islamic architectural styles is visible in this fort.
