About Travel to Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer is relatively small and remote city located in the far West of India near the border with Pakistan. Jaisalmer is very much an outpost on the edge of the Thar Desert of the State of Rajasthan. Like other cities in Rajasthan, Jaislamer also has some very impressive ancient architecture and a rich cultural heritage closely associated with nomadic peoples of the Thar Desert.

Aerial view of Jaisalmer FortJaisalmer Fort
The main attraction in Jaisalmer is Jaisalmer Fort. Jaisalmer Fort was built in 1156, and the city of Jaisalmer spread out from the fort from the 17th Century onward as the local population grew.
The fort is 460 metres long and 230 metres wide, protected by three rings of defensive, and accesible via 4 large fortified gates. The fort has a permanent population estimated to be between 2,000 and 4,000 strong. Many of the inhabitants claim to be the descendants of people who worked and lived at the fort hundreds of years ago. It’s very much a case of the local rulers having departed the fort, but the staff supporting them deciding to stay and open up their own businesses, which now include shops, restaurants and hotels.
Other Attractions in Jaislamer
Other than Jaisalmer Fort, the two main attractions in, or close to, the city are the Bada Bagh, which is series of royal tombs, and the Patwon-ki-Haveli, which is a collection of 5 traditional houses built by a wealthy local family. Beyond this, the other major attractions are located some distance by road from Jaislamer deep within the desert, including the 9th Century Tanot Mata Temple near the Pakistan border and the long abandoned Khaba Fort. Taking a jeep tour to explore these hard to reach ruins in the desert is highly recommended.
