Located on the ancient, strategic camel
train routes between India, Central Asia, Jaisalmer seems to be
straight out of the Tales of Arabian Nights. The Jaisalmer Fort,
is teeming with activity as almost a quarter of the old city's
population resides here. Within the fort walls are a group of
exquisitely carved Jain temples built between the 12th and 15th
centuries.
The other places worth a visit are the
beautiful mansions or Havelies which are still in good condition,
as well Lake Gadesar. A visit to Jaisalmer will not be complete
without a trip to the sand dunes at Sam.
