Jaisalmer

In the heart of the Thar Desert, perched on Trikuta Hill, the city of Jaisalmer, founded in 1156 by Rawal Jaisal, evokes images of times gone by when tradition and culture mingled with art and beauty. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Rajasthan with an impressive sandstone fort which glows in the setting sun. Also famous for its havelis and lassi shops, the town has a wonderful atmosphere with intricately carved buildings and narrow winding streets.
