Jaisalmer - the golden city of Thar Desert was founded in 1156 A.D. by
Rawal Jaisal, the head of Bhati clan of Rajputs. This citadel town blossoms with intricately carved
Haveli's & Temples. Placid cows chew cud as life continues at its own pace in this medieval fortified wonder of the Great Indian Desert. This town with population of 40,000 is definite walking city & will transport you back in time.
Jaisalmer Fort is the only living fort in the
world, housing 3800 people even today.
This town was declared a national heritage city in 1974 & it is our endeavors to preserve & protect it for your pleasure. The
environs of Jaisalmer are home to many endangered desert flora &
fauna. The great Indian bustard is our prized resident.
"Aakal" Fossil Park is testimony of the antiquity of this region. |
