If you enjoy nature, landscape, and walking, Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park is a wonderful addition. Spread across restored rocky terrain at the base of Mehrangarh, it showcases native desert plants and offers unique angles on the fort walls.
You can take a short walk along clearly marked trails, learn about local ecology, and capture photos of both the landscape and the fort in the background. If you prefer less walking, you can skip this and spend more time in markets or at Mandore instead.
