Jaisalmer diaries

Sorry for not been able to post in months. Work has kept me busy.

We visited Jaisalmer in January as a family vacation. It was the perfect weather to visit the city.

The most sought tourist destination in India Jaisalmer, the golden city, is well known for its magnificent fort, soulful music, folk dances, exquisite Rajasthani delicacies and huge Sam Sand dunes.

It lies towards the western frontier of India, near the India-Pakistan border, and is well known for its close proximity to Thar desert, the largest desert in Asia. 

Tourist came to the city to have a camping experience at the heart of the desert under a stary night away from the hustle bustle of city, enjoying the soulful music and the folk dance of Rajasthan by the native artists and to explore the vividness of the desert on bumpy camel ride or the adventurous jeep safari amidst the huge sand dunes. The jeep safari is the experience that gives adrenaline rush to the tourist making the visit to Thar the memorable experience, the one that people cherish throughout their life. 

The breathtaking view of breaking of a dawn giving the sky its crimson colour and the spectacular views of the sunset amidst the huge sand dunes are rich and joyful experience of the Thar. 

With its diversified geographical features and traditionally rich culture, the city offers something to everyone who visit this place. 

From the grandeur of the fort to the colourful shopping lanes of the city, Jaisalmer has preserved its charm of being royal and lively. 

All the architectural building and monuments are masterpiece in itself.The yellow sand stone used to build these buildings gives the city its yellowish golden tinge and make it bright and beautiful.

The one, who is keen to enjoy the true colours of India, must visit this Land of kings. The magnificent fort that sings the praise of the royals of Rajasthan and the grand havelis that narrates the opulent history of Jaisalmer introduce the tourist to the rich and royal face of India. 

Best time to visit the city is November-March.

Days are pleasant and nights are cold.
