OVERVIEW
Jaisalmer, known as the Golden City of Rajasthan, rises from the heart of the Thar Desert with its honey-gold sandstone architecture, historic havelis and magnificent living fort. Founded in 1156 by Maharawal Jaisal, the city developed along ancient desert trade routes and continues to preserve the distinctive character of western Rajasthan.
At the centre of the city stands Jaisalmer Fort, also known as Sonar Quila, a remarkable living fort where historic residences, temples, shops and narrow lanes continue to form part of everyday life. Around the fort, beautifully carved havelis such as Patwon Ki Haveli and Salim Singh Ki Haveli reveal the wealth and craftsmanship of Jaisalmer's merchant families.
Beyond the city, the landscape transforms into the vast Thar Desert. Sunset at Sam Sand Dunes, private desert excursions, camel experiences, dune drives, traditional music and carefully selected desert camps create some of Rajasthan's most memorable travel experiences. Rajasthan Tourism also highlights Sam and Khuri as locations for desert activities including dune bashing and other adventure experiences.
With Rajasthan Escapes, Jaisalmer can be experienced as more than a sightseeing stop—with private heritage tours, curated desert experiences, luxury camp stays and personalized journeys designed around the traveller's pace and interests.
