At the beginning of the year, after a man came back after spending 20 days in Russia at minus 40 degrees, he wanted to go to another mysterious place. At that time, I just revisited the movie "The Fall" that I liked for 7 years, so I thought about going to India, and I must find a place where the director was filming! This is the main reason why I came to India alone this holiday?
Known as one of the most beautiful movies in the world, the director has moved to 18 countries and 26 places after 4 years. The stunning fantasy scenes and colors, costumes and makeup are all shot in real life without any special effects.
Compared with the current era of rampant digital cinema, the director can sink down to carve such a beautiful work of art, which is worthy of being loved by fans.
The Fall | Plan
I probably made 12 PPTs of the venue, which included screenshots of the movie, a top view of the venue, and annotated speculation about the director’s shooting angle at the time.
Even if it was prepared like this, it was quite difficult to find some real scenes. At that time, I hoped to find the blue wall in Jodhpur. I took these photos to compare them one by one. The local temperature was almost 40 degrees Celsius. It was difficult, and finally had to give up.
Diudiu stayed for a total of 15 days. According to the above map, I ran 7 places in the viewfinder. Thinking about completing this journey alone, it is also very powerful, hhh?. Yesterday, I saw on Weibo that there are two types of people who have been to India. One is that they don’t want to come again, the other is that they want to come more times, and Diudiu is the second kind.
Jodhpur | Rajasthan
? Mehrangarh Fort
After the baptism in Delhi, I came to the blue city of Jodhpur. There are two roads to Mehrangarh Fort. One is from the downtown area and the alleys are explored step by step. Alley. People paint the walls blue and walk through the sapphire blue alleys, and you will get a lot of surprises.

The scene where Indian died
? Tips:
1. Take a tutu bus from the city to Mehrangarh Fort for about 50 rupees,
2. Buy a ticket and you can visit Mehrangarh Fort at will
? Umaid Bhawan Palace
Roy Walker and Odys meet in the hall of Umaid Bhawan Palace. The Turkish Islamic Sufi men continue to dance in circles. This is undoubtedly the most dreamy moment of the film.
The Umaid Bhawan Palace is still owned by the family of the princes of Jodhpur, and is now divided into museums, luxury hotels and royal residences. The place where the scene is taken is in this world's most popular top luxury hotel, and only residents can enter it, making it quite mysterious.
Fortunately, Di Di Di used a much cheaper price of 30,000 rupees (about 3,000 yuan) to book the suite he should have. The specific in-depth experience Di Di will tell you in the next tweet.
In order to capture this angle, you must apply in advance when you go to the top floor
.
At sunset, you can sit quietly and watch the beautiful scenery and the peacocks in the garden, which is very beautiful.
Jaipur | Rajasthan
The film set in the pink city Jaipur includes Hawa Mahal, City Palace and Jantar Mantar. Hawa Mahal is a famous palace of wind, which is the scene where Indian meets his wife, but Diudiu found the whole palace and did not compare the same. The scene, I heard the doorman said that the drawing on the wall will change during the renovation.
In the scene where Indian guards his wife at the door, there are four doors with very different drawings. On the first day, Diudiu hoped to find a similarly dressed Indian to restore the scene, but stayed nearby for an afternoon without encountering it. The next day, he went to the market to buy this green dress and went into battle by himself.

Chand Baori | Abhaneri
The Moon Well Chand Baori is located in the village of Abhaneri, which is more than an hour away from Jaipur. It is the scene of Darwin's death in the movie. In the film, the director connects the Chand Baori scene with Mehrangarh Fort, but they are actually two cities.
Because I went there alone, and I had to go to Agra after I had finished there, so the plan would not be realized by ordinary transportation. In the end, I could only choose to drive on my own route in a chartered car. Since the driver's English is really difficult to understand, it also made it a little more difficult to find Chand Baori.
I wanted to take this angle scene very much. The contrast scene between Darwin's clothes and this inverted triangle pyramid is that I like the scene very much, but many places on the scene are blocked and cannot be visited, sad.
?Tips:
1. A person can charter a car from the city to the Moon Well (1000 rupees back and forth)
2. Moon Well is free, but the location is a bit biased
Agra | Uttar Pradesh
Speaking of Agra, it is estimated that everyone is here for the Taj Mahal. I arrived at Agra at 5 pm, and the door was closed on Friday.
So I ran to Buland Darwaza the next day. It was 40 kilometers away from the city, and it took 1 and a half hours. I was in the tutu car recommended by the landlord. There is also the Palace of Unitary Pillar nearby. Luigi died. The scene, but due to time constraints, I can only give up.
In the movie, Buland Darwaza connects Tomb of Akbar the Great, but in fact their positions differ by 30 kilometers.
I was fortunate enough to meet 4 children here, which is just suitable for the scenes of the 4 characters in the movie. I showed them the pictures, hoping to help restore them. Although they don't feel very understandable, they are willing to cooperate.
Agra Fort is a gathering area for tourists. In order to capture a few people scenes, Diudiu waited until the last moment when the door was closed. If you have enough time, I think this place is very suitable for staying alone, touching historical buildings and admiring the Taj Mahal in the distance.
The Taj Mahal is beautiful, but there are so many tourists. You might as well go to its back garden. Although it is just a ruin, you can find a place to quietly watch the beauty of this historic building.
?Tips:
1. It is recommended to ask for a tutu car in Agra for one day at the above places, about 1300 rupees
. 2. If you want to visit alone, you can decline the recommendation of the local guide, and you can be tough
Udaipur | Rajasthan
Udaipur is the last stop. When I first arrived here, I didn’t seem to believe that this is India, because it is completely different from the previous city. The clean, calm, and harmonious atmosphere surrounds the entire town. In the movie, there are Jag Mandir and Jag Niwas, but Jag Niwas is a luxury hotel, not open to the public. So I can only choose to take a boat to Jag Mandir to find the scene in the movie.
After walking through these scenes, you will find that the real scenes are as beautiful as in the movie, they are real. After comparing the photos, you will have some interesting perceptions. Just like the picture above, the trees in the background have already been a lot taller, and they passed by. This movie has been in theaters for 11 years, and after a lapse of 11 years, I followed these trajectories. I walked all over ❤️.
The filming locations of the director include Ladakh and Punjab, both of which are located in the desert. I hope Diudu can fill it up next time!
Gifts | India
and along the way, I collected a small token as a souvenir at every attraction.
A gift box for a gentleman living in the Bhawan Palace, a hand strap donated by local residents by Chand Baori Moon Well, feathers picked up by Tomb of Akbar the Great, bookmarks from the city palace, camel hair shoes selected from the market in Mehrangarh Fort, Thailand The little elephant in the back garden of the Ji Mahal...
feels like all this is like an adventure story imagined when I was a child, and these objects want to be witnesses one by one, in short, they have done a very satisfying thing, super happy~. #The next few articles about Diudiu will tell you what kind of place India is.#
