About Jaisalmer - The Golden City

Rising like a mirage from the heart of the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer is a city of honey-colored sandstone that glows golden under the sun. The main attraction is the living Jaisalmer Fort, a massive sandcastle that is one of the few remaining inhabited forts in the world, housing shops, hotels, and ancient havelis. The city's narrow lanes are filled with intricately carved Jain temples and ornate mansions. An unforgettable experience is a camel safari into the vast Sam Sand Dunes to witness a spectacular desert sunset and spend a night under the stars.
