Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer, often called the “Golden City of India,” is one of Rajasthan’s most enchanting destinations, rising majestically from the golden sands of the Thar Desert. Founded in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, the city is known for its yellow sandstone architecture that glows brilliantly under the desert sun, creating a magical golden hue.

The crown jewel of Jaisalmer is the Jaisalmer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s few living forts, where people still reside and trade within its walls. Inside, narrow lanes lead to stunning havelis like Patwon Ki Haveli and Salim Singh Ki Haveli, adorned with intricate carvings and balconies.

Beyond its architectural beauty, Jaisalmer offers unforgettable desert experiences — from thrilling camel safaris across sand dunes to mesmerizing cultural performances under starry skies. The serene Gadisar Lake and vibrant local bazaars add even more charm to this desert gem.

A trip to Jaisalmer is a journey through time — a blend of history, art, and desert adventure that captures the true spirit of Rajasthan.
