A magical oasis

One of Rajasthan's great cities, Jaisalmer is a magical sight in the heart of the Thar desert. If you've travelled through the hectic crowds in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur to get here, Jaisalmer will delight you in its ancient citadel with a gentle and enchanting welcome.
The mighty fort contains an old town with families who have lived there for centuries. It is like Carcassonne but 100% original and without the polish. Imagine dinner on a rooftop restaurant with a backdrop of a glorious desert sunset, and later the golden floodlit fortress, and you will begin to understand the unique beauty of Jaisalmer.
