The first exploration begins at the ethereal sandstone fort of Jaisalmer. This one looks like a massive sand castle, and it is the city's focal point. Built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal, this fort is still inhabited. It also houses several hotels, pensions, temples, craft shops, restaurants, and above all, the former palace of the Maharaja. Jain temples are also of great interest to tourists, as these seven temples are interconnected and date back to the 15th century. They have been carved on sandstone and feature incredible architectural details. In Jaisalmer, travelers can have fun walking between the Havelis inside and outside the fort. Moreover, the Patwa Haveli is the most impressive in the city, and it displays magnificent stone engravings and breathtaking works. Today, the place has been converted into a museum. Nevertheless, those wishing to visit another Haveli can see Salim Singh. Then, visitors can head to the sand dunes named Sam for a unique experience when the sunset is coming. They will also have the opportunity to spend the night in a desert camp. In the early morning, a visit to Gadisar Lake can be scheduled. It is a vast artificial reservoir built by Maharawal Gadsi Singh in the 14th century. It is the ideal place for visitors looking for calm and serenity. In winter, it is possible to observe migratory waterfowl and catfish. In Jaisalmer, tourists looking for thrills can spend an afternoon in Kuldhara, a mysterious ghost village. It is even an essential tourist attraction there. As for meals, tourists will enjoy tasting local dishes in one of the many restaurants highlighted in the city. ◄
