About Jaisalmer
Rising like a golden mirage from the heart of the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer is one of Rajasthan’s most enchanting destinations — a city where history, culture, and desert charm blend into a magical experience. Known as the “Golden City”, Jaisalmer gets its name from the golden-yellow sandstone used in its architecture, which glows beautifully under the sun.
Founded in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, the city is a living museum of Rajput grandeur, complete with ancient forts, ornate havelis (mansions), vibrant markets, and timeless desert traditions. At its center stands the magnificent Jaisalmer Fort, one of the few “living forts” in the world, where people still reside within its walls. The fort’s narrow lanes, intricately carved Jain temples, and breathtaking views make it a must-visit.
Beyond the fort, the charm continues with attractions like:
-
Patwon Ki Haveli & Salim Singh Ki Haveli
-
Gadisar Lake
-
Bada Bagh Cenotaphs
-
Sam Sand Dunes

Golden Architecture that glows at sunrise and sunset

-
Adventurous Desert Activities like camel & jeep safaris
-
Tranquil Nights Under the Stars with folk performances
