Description
Explore Jaisalmer and the best of its tourist spots in this half-day tour of the city which will take you to all the architectural marvels of this golden city! Begin your tour with your guide picking you up from your hotel at around 11:00 AM, and exploring the first spot, the gigantic Jaisalmer Fort.
Believed to be “the only” living fort in the entire world, the Jaisalmer’s fort is also the second oldest fort of Rajasthan. Currently accommodating nearly a quarter of the whole Jaisalmer’s population, this beautiful structure is a house to ancient temples, merchant Havelis, hotels, and even French eateries! Explore this beauty as your guide introduces you to many hidden facts about the fort!
Post this, go ahead on a tour to explore the mesmerizing Havelis of Jaisalmer. Starting with Patwon ki haveli, the first of its kind to be built in the city, this spectacular building is a cluster of 5 Havelis that will leave you spellbound with its architecture and history.
Follow your guide ahead to the next haveli in line, the Nathmal ki haveli. Popular as the residence of the then Prime minister of Jaisalmer, this structure is considered as “the best” when it comes to splendor. Take a thorough tour of this place and learn about the precise and fine detailing that has been done in the building.
From there, move to the Salim Singh haveli, which is famous for its unique peacock-based architecture. Built-in 1815, this stunning structure consists of more than 38 balconies (each different from others) giving a panoramic view of the city!
End your tour with a stunning sunset to witness at the famous Gadisar lake. Built by the king Rawal Jaisal, the first ruler of Jaisalmer, this historic lake used to be the only source of water back in time!
