A morning drive from Jaipur peels back the Pink City’s bustle and drops you into the scrubbed slopes of the Aravalli. Dust rises off the highway as the ruined ramparts of Bhangarh Fort appear against the low hills—stone walls hollow with doorways and temples that seem to watch you approach. The wind moves through its corridors like a cautious guide, nudging you toward sun-baked courtyards and carved lintels.
