Jaisalmer Fort
The Living Golden Fortress
Built in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, this massive golden sandstone fort rises from the Thar Desert like a mirage. It houses ancient Jain temples, palaces, homes, and markets — making it one of the few fully-inhabited forts in the world.
Sam Sand Dunes
The Heart of the Thar Desert
Located 40 km from Jaisalmer, Sam is the best place to enjoy camel safaris, jeep rides, desert camping, and traditional Rajasthani folk performances under the open sky — especially magical during sunset.
Gadisar Lake
An artificial lake built by Maharaja Gadsi Singh in the 14th century, surrounded by temples and ghats. Ideal for peaceful boat rides and sunrise photography, it once served as the main water source of Jaisalmer.
