Merangarh Fort

Within the walls of the fort - we started our walk at the 18th century end

Rooms inside the fort

Blue City

The streets were narrow and the homes within touching distance of each other ... they're very neighbourly

There were obstacles in our way

Our walking guide, Kuldeep, takes great pride in his Rajputan moustache

And we met many wonderful folks along the way ...
