About Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer rises from the Thar Desert in yellow sandstone. Its fort is one of the few in India where people still live inside, in homes, guesthouses and shops among old Jain temples.
Outside the city are lakes, cenotaphs, an abandoned village and the Sam sand dunes, so one stay can include both heritage and a desert evening.

Jaisalmer Fort
The fort is a living town of narrow lanes, havelis, temples and shops. Plan time to walk the ramparts and look over the city from the walls.
Patwon Ki Haveli
A cluster of large merchant havelis, famous for their carved sandstone balconies and facades.
Gadisar Lake
A rainwater reservoir ringed by small temples and ghats. It is a quiet stop in the morning or late afternoon.
Bada Bagh
A garden complex of royal cenotaphs on a hill outside the city. It is popular for photography at sunset.
Kuldhara Village
A Paliwal village that stands empty, with rows of roofless stone houses. A short visit gives a sense of how the desert settlements were laid out.
Sam Sand Dunes
The sand dunes west of the city are the usual place for a desert evening, with a camel ride and sunset.
