Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer rises from the Thar Desert, built almost entirely from yellow sandstone that glows gold at sunset. The Jaisalmer Fort is unique as a 'living fort,' with a large part of the old city's population still residing within its walls. Beyond the fort, the city is known for its magnificent havelis (mansions) like Patwon Ki Haveli, camel safaris in the Sam Sand Dunes, and its deep-rooted Rajasthani desert culture.
