The name Jaisalmer evokes a vivid picture of sheer
magic and brilliance of the desert. The exotic, remote and beautiful
Jaisalmer is a bit of a paradox. So far West that it is in the heart of
the desert, one would expect barren near-desolation. Yet this frontier
town is today one of Rajasthan's best-loved tourist
destinations. |

The golden - hued Jaisalmer Fort 'Sonar Kila'
can be seen miles away before reaching the town.
Standing proud to a height of hundred metres over
the city with its 99 bastions, the fort is a splendid
sight in the afternoon Sun. In fact the fort is a part
of the desert citadel, walking up and down the cobbled
and narrow lanes, one gets the feeling of a different age altogether. |
