Jaisalmer The Golden City of Rajasthan

The heart and soul of Jaisalmer lies in its Jaisalmer Fort, one of the largest living forts in the world. Built in 1156 by Maharawal Jaisal Singh, the fort’s golden sandstone walls blend seamlessly with the surrounding desert, creating a mesmerizing sight, especially at sunset. As you walk through the narrow, winding lanes of the fort, you’ll encounter charming bazaars, ancient temples, and bustling courtyards where locals go about their daily lives. The fort is home to several palaces and museums that give insight into the royal history and architectural brilliance of the time.
