Jaisalmer
Thar desert
The city of sand dunes well known as Thar desert. Often described as appearing out of the Great Indian Desert like a mirage, even though it did begin with a sunrise overlooking the city.
Jaisalmer Fort looks like a giant upside down sandcastle. It’s a different type of fort than others in Rajasthan in that it is still a living fort. The old city of Jaisalmer is still home to a few, and houses many visitors: unfortunately the city inside the fort is these days one large tourist hub.
If you come to Jaisalmer not planning to do a desert camel trip there’s not that much to do – although some visitors seem happy to stay and wander for a few days.
The dunes are located in Sam and Khuri both 40 km away from main city. One can enjoy camel safari, Jeep Safari, Kalbelia dance and adventure tent stay beneath the stars in the desert.
A haunted trail to a village called Kuldhara near Jaisalmer. It is tempting to explore the abandoned village during the day. Kuldhara is a 200 year old story of a community of paliwal brahmins, who had vanished overnight, leaving behind a ghost village to narrate their tale.
