Jaisalmer is a desert city of exceptional beauty and history and a visit to Jaisalmer is a must for any traveller. A honey-coloured fort remarkable in its structure emerges from the flat dry sands, soaring upwards. This is one of Rajasthan's most enchanting cities - sublimely beautiful and as the sun sets the sandstone buildings emit a lustrous glow that gives Jaisalmer an appropriate sobriquet, the 'Golden City'. Today, the city is a lively hub from where one can trek across beautiful stretches of sand, go on camel safaris deep into the desert, or paradoxically, enjoy visiting the nearby lakes and reservoirs.
