 -- PLACES TO VISIT --

The Jaisalmer Fort
The fort of Jaisalmer, which resembles a gigantic sandcastle, is home to several thousand people. Crowned over the Trikuta Hill, the golden yellow Jaisalmer Fort dates back to more than 800 years. The fort has many gates including Ganesh Pol, Suraj Pol, Bhoot Pol and Hawa Pol. In addition to this, it also has a number of beautiful havelies and a group of Jain temples that make it a special place to explore.

Gadsisar Tank
The huge Gadsisar Tank was once the main source of water supply to the city. In winters, a variety of birds flock here and make the whole environment enchanting. The beautiful arched gateway across the road down to the tank adds to its attraction. A number of exquisite temples and tanks located around the lake add to its pristine beauty.

Manak Chowk
Manak Chowk has successfully retained its ancient charm since time immemorial. Various lanes with exquisitely carved havelis lead to the chowk that remains abuzz, most of the time, with various activities. Exploring the chowk is an experience in itself.

Nathmalji-Ki-Haveli
One very interesting fact about this haveli is that its two sides were carved by two brothers. Although the motif used by Gadsisar Lake, Jaisalmerone is not similar to the other, they are in harmony. One has to look very closely to spot dissimilarities. The excellent craftsmanship of the stone carver is illustrated in the gossamer quality of the screened windows.
