Jodphur (16th March)
The
famous Mehrangarh fort in Jodphur was a very impressive fort with a great museum
with loads of information. The steeply built fort makes for
beautiful views over the gorgeous blue city.

It
was in Jodphur we had one of the best Thali's – beautiful warming
curries, cooling and thick curd, chapati, pappadum and a sweet treat makes
Thali's a very satisfying meal.

We
purchased our brightly coloured powders for our Holi celebration
here, and prepared them into bags to share with everyone.
Colourful Holi powders
We
were even lucky enough to share the night before holi ceremony with
the family of the hotel, which was really interesting and spiritual.
Of course – some powders had to be used on this night!!
