Jaisalmer Trip

Nestled in the heart of the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer — often referred to as the “Golden City” — stands like a mirage of history, culture, and desert allure. Its name is derived from Maharawal Jaisal Singh, who founded the city in 1156 AD. What makes Jaisalmer truly enchanting is its honey-hued sandstone architecture that glows golden under the desert sun, giving the city an almost ethereal charm.

At the center of this majestic city rises the Jaisalmer Fort, or Sonar Qila, one of the few “living forts” in the world where thousands still reside within its ancient walls. The fort, with its labyrinthine alleys, ornate Jain temples, and royal palaces, is a testament to the city’s rich heritage and strategic importance along historic trade routes. Beyond the fort, Jaisalmer unfolds in a tapestry of intricately carved havelis, including the renowned Patwon Ki Haveli, Salim Singh Ki Haveli, and Nathmal Ki Haveli — each narrating tales of wealth, artistry, and Rajputana grandeur.

Places Visit in Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer Fort (Sonar Qila)

One of the largest living forts in the world, made entirely of golden-yellow sandstone. Inside its walls are ancient Jain temples, palaces, shops, cafes, and residential houses that reflect centuries of vibrant history.


Patwon Ki Haveli

A cluster of five intricately carved havelis built by a wealthy trader family. Known for its stunning jharokhas, murals, mirror work, and balconies — a masterpiece of Rajasthani architecture.


Salim Singh Ki Haveli

Famous for its unique peacock-shaped roof and 38 beautifully carved balconies. A 300-year-old architectural wonder that reflects the creativity of Jaisalmer artisans.


Nathmal Ki Haveli

Built by two architect brothers, this haveli features a unique blend of Islamic and Rajput styles. The asymmetrical yet detailed facade is a visual delight.


Sam Sand Dunes

Located about 40 km from the city, these golden sand dunes offer camel safaris, jeep rides, sunset views, and traditional Rajasthani music and dance in desert camps.


Khuri Sand Dunes

A quieter alternative to Sam, perfect for those seeking a more serene desert experience with fewer tourists and authentic village charm.


Gadisar Lake

A peaceful man-made lake surrounded by ghats, temples, and cenotaphs. Ideal for boating and bird watching, especially during winter.


Bada Bagh

A royal cenotaph complex with intricately carved chhatris dedicated to Jaisalmer’s former rulers. Offers a dramatic silhouette at sunset with windmills on the horizon.


Jain Temples (Inside the Fort)

A group of seven ornate temples from the 12th–16th century, dedicated to various Tirthankaras. Known for their detailed marble and sandstone carvings.


Kuldhara Village

An abandoned village steeped in mystery and legend. It is believed to have been cursed and left overnight by its inhabitants in the 1800s. A haunting yet fascinating site.


Desert Cultural Centre & Museum

A small but engaging museum offering insights into local crafts, music, weapons, and Rajasthani history. Don’t miss the evening puppet show.


Tanot Mata Temple

Located near the India-Pakistan border, this temple is revered for its miraculous history during the 1965 war when bombs dropped nearby failed to explode.
