Hotel in Jaisalmer

Hotel in Jaisalmer

Unlike any other city, this desert fortress is one of Rajasthan’s most exotic and unusual towns. Jaisalmer, an important ancient trading because of its strategic location on the camel trade routes, is often described as the ‘golden city’.
A desert city, it was founded by the Bhatti Rajput chieftain Rawal Jaisal in the year 1156. Jaisalmer could be regarded as the western sentinel of entire India and a place worth visiting to get an idea of the native Rajasthan.
Located at the heart of the great Thar Desert, it offers the visitor an enchanting world of fable, color, and history. Moreover, the magnificent wood-and stone-carved mansions and buildings display the love and interest Rajputs had for the fine arts.
The desert festival held here by the end of the winter season, during the months of January and February, attracts a large number of domestic and foreign tourist.
