Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer, often referred to as the "Golden City," is a magnificent desert town in the state of Rajasthan, India. Famous for its golden-yellow sandstone architecture and its location in the heart of the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer is a city steeped in history, culture, and architectural beauty. Here’s an overview of the key highlights:

1. Jaisalmer Fort

The crown jewel of Jaisalmer, this UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the largest fully preserved fortified cities in the world. Built in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, it rises from the desert and is made of yellow sandstone, which glows a golden hue in the sunlight, giving the city its nickname.
Inside the fort, narrow winding lanes are home to temples, palaces, residences, and bustling markets. It’s a living fort, with people still inhabiting it, which makes it unique among Indian forts.
