The first of what was to become a slew of Rajasthani forts, the Mehrangarh Fort hands down, had what I thought was the best hilltop view. Originally, the only buildings painted blue were those of the "Brahmin" caste, meaning priests or those with the highest spiritual knowledge, who wanted to be set apart from the other castes. In the end, the calming blue colour was adopted by the others since it cooled the buildings interiors and kept away mosquitoes. If the view isn't enough for you, the ziplining will definitely immortalize the experience. I'm sure the film crew of Dark Knight Rises will agree with me.
