Captivating Rajasthan

When you arrive at Jaisalmer Railway Station you will be met, assisted, and driven to the heart of the Thar Desert, i.e. Jaisalmer. Check-in at your hotel upon arrival; the evening is at your leisure. Jaisalmer, founded in the 12th century, was a flourishing mediaeval region with main trade routes from India to Arabia, Persia, Egypt, and Europe. Many former menarches and flush merchants have built a unique and marvellous dwelling out of sandstone in this parched boondocks, which has withstood the battering storms of the desert throughout the era. Stay at a hotel in Jaisalmer for the night.

After having breakfast, go sightseeing in and around Jaisalmer, including its famous fort, havelis, and temples. The 'golden fort,' which stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone, is one of the world's largest fortifications. The fort is located on Trikuta Hill, in the middle of the vast Thar Desert, and has been the scene of numerous battles. The fort's massive yellow sandstone walls are a tawny lion colour during the day, fading to honey-gold as the sun sets, concealing it in the yellow desert. The Rawal's seven-story citadel with delicately imprinted terrace, temples, and havelis built by the Jain community can all be found within the fort. Golden City, also known as the "Museum City," has some magnificent imprinted havelis in the area, including the Salim Singh-ki-Haveli, Nathmalji-ki-Haveli, and Patwon-ki-Haveli. A visit to the golden city of Rajasthan would be incomplete without seeing the charming sand dunes located outside the city. You will be driven there in a jeep and will have the opportunity to ride a camel for a short distance. En route to the dunes, you will be taken to see the mysterious abandoned village of Kuldhara. The Paliwal Brahmins lived in Kuldhara for seven centuries, one of 84 villages where they flourished in their heyday. According to legend, in the early nineteenth century, the beautiful daughter of the village chief fell victim to the all-powerful prime minister of Jaisalmer's king. The villagers had two options: hand over the girl to the minister or face his harassment threats. The villagers packed their belongings and fled their homes, leaving behind a curse that anyone who attempted to live in the village would perish; the village has remained uninhabited ever since. Stay at a hotel in Jaisalmer for the night.
