About Travel to Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer is a small city with around 80,000 permanent residents located in the West of Rajasthan, which covers an arid region located between Delhi and the border with Pakistan, right on the edge of the large Thar Desert. Jaisalmer is a popular starting point for camel treks and jeep tours around the desert, which contains some interesting ancient buildings and settlements, such as the 9th Century Tanot Mata Temple. Every year in February a Desert Festival is held near Jaisalmer where the people of the Thar desert come together for traditional music performances and dancing by night, and camel racing during the day. There are lots of companies in Jaislmer offerring camel treks and jeep tours. We recommend shopping around for the best deals, and seeking out reviews from other travellers, before booking.

Within Jaisalmer itself the main attraction is the Jaisalmer Fort, also known as the Golden Fort because of the yellow rock used its construction. Jaisalmer Fort was built in 1156 and is located overlooking the city on a small hill. The fort measures 460 metres long and 230 metres wide, protected by three rings of walls, and accessible via four large gateways. A community of somewhere between 2,000 and 4,000 people still live inside the fort. Many of these people can trace their ancestors back to people who originally worked and lived within the fort hundreds of years ago. The fort is open to visitors and contains shops, restaurants and even hotels.
