Discover India's Golden City in Captivating Attractions in Jaisalmer

Dominating the sandy landscapes in the heart of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan lies what has been long identified as the Golden City of India. Affectionately dubbed Jaisalmer, the fort town is a vibrant town laden with ancient structures, historic temples and scenic natural beauty that are hardly found anywhere else in the clay-hued territories of Rajasthan. Founded by Maharawal Jaisal in the 12th century AD, Jaisalmer is also the state's biggest district with a history as old as Rajasthan itself. As one of the most visited tourist destinations in the country, the city is renowned worldwide as a cultural mecca complete with historic forts, palaces, havelis, nature parks and sand dunes most of which are easily accessible via the road, railway or on camel or elephant back. Camp in Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer Fort is of course the city's most visited attraction as it is an iconic symbol of Jaisalmer that dates back to the 12th century when the fort was constructed. At a height of 250 feet and encircled by a 30 foot sandstone wall, the fort also houses 99 bastions which afford stunning and panoramic views to guests from all angles. Located on Trikuta hill this formidable structure is made almost entirely of yellow sandstone and also contains a Jain temple among several other temples within its walls. Residential areas and thoroughfares are also situated inside the fort which is perched 30 metres above the city. Tazia Tower is another historic point of interest in Jaisalmer which emerges from the "palace of clouds" known as Badal Mahal. With intricately carved balconies decorating each storey this stunning five tiered tower is a sight that inspires awe for its architectural prowess.


The Jaisalmer Havelis or mansions are also worth a visit as these expansive structures feature captivating cutwork and breathtaking interiors with bracket shaped peacock motifs, yellow/red sandstone facades and intricate designs. Highlights include the Nathmalji-ki-Haveli and Salim-Singh-ki-Haveli while Patwon-ki-Haveli is equally popular among tourists. Tent in Jaisalmer

Those in search of natural wonders in Jaisalmer should head down to Gadsisar Sagar Lake which is the city's preferred picnic and recreational hotspot. A haven for bird watching enthusiasts, the lake attracts hundreds of migratory winged beauties to its shores in the winter months. The lake also features a 15th century water conservation tank while the ancient garden of Bada Bagh is also located on the banks of the lake.


Wildlife fanatics on the other hand should venture into Jaisalmer Desert National Park which offers visitors a glimpse into the city's rich heritage of flora and fauna. Spread out over 3162km2, this sprawling sanctuary established in 1980 boasts frequent sightings of vultures, desert hares, chinkaras and black bucks. Desert snakes and foxes are also found here while guests can discover fossilized tree trunks at the Akal Wood Fossil Park. Other attractions include the Lodurva Jain Temple ruins and the venue's sand dunes which are best explored via camel safaris which have long been considered a signature Jaisalmer tourist activity.
