Discover Jaisalmer Holidays

In the heart of the Thar Desert lies Jaisalmer, known as the 'Golden City' thanks to the way its striking yellow sandstone architecture reflects against the desert sun. The walled town was founded by Rawal Jaisal in 1156 and exists now as both a popular tourist destination and a thriving hub of local trade with bustling bazaars.

A unique destination, Jaisalmer offers a fascinating blend of history, culture and stunning natural scenery. Enter one of the world's few remaining living forts, the hilltop Jaisalmer Fort and take in the Jain Temples and the Maharaja Palace. Dominating the main 'chowk' (square), this beautiful five-storey façade of balconies and windows showcase some of the finest masonry in Jaisalmer. Discover the latticed stone façades of nearby grand mansions - the Nathmalji-ki-haveli, Patwon-ki-haveli and Salim Singh-ki-haveli, soak up the serenity of Gadisar Lake or visit the Sam Sand Dunes for a unique desert experience.
