Mandore Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

#culture #Mandore Garden Abandoned since 1459 CE, the ancient town of Mandore is just five-and-a-half miles north of the tourist haven of #Jodhpur, Rajasthan. One of best-preserved sites here is the Mandore Gardens that stand strong to tell the tale of a bygone era. Over the centuries, Mandore served as the capital of many #Jodhpur kings, and even witnessed several invasions from different dynasties, including the Muslim rulers of #Gujarat and #Malwa. So, in order to protect #Mandore further from invasions, the capital was shifted to the hilltop #Mehrangarh Fort, as it offers better safety and protection to the royal kingdom. Tips: Beware of Indian monkeys here, they can snatch cameras, phone, water bottle or anything you get your hands on.

It’s a bit out of Jodhpur City. But a nice place to wander for an hour or two if you have a free afternoon. It has a for that dates back to the 4th century.
Less frequented by travellers, we found Mandore Garden to be exquisite, if a bit mismanaged. The ancient architecture of a bygone epoch and a patch of #green in the arid town had all our attentions grasped.
