Once you are picked up from your centrally located hotel in Jaisalmer, you can start strolling around the beautiful city. Widely-known as the Golden city of India, Jaisalmer was founded by Raja Rawal Jaisal, a Bhatti Rajput emperor, in approximately 1156. You will begin at the Jaisalmer fort, exploring through the grandeur of this ancient city, learning the legends at the palace museum and understanding the dynasties that helped to built the monument. Explore the group of seven Jain temples located inside the Fort premises, dedicated to various Jain Tirthankars (hermits) and learn about the significance of each temple from your local guide. The walls of the temples are intricately carved in famous Dilwara style, prominent in the 12th century.

Proceed to visit the palace museum, preserving the Rajasthani culture and presenting a rare glimpse of royalty. Walk past the bustling streets of the fort, still inhabited by more than 3000 locals. Walk to the neighbouring bazaars of Jaisalmer for a chilled glass of Lassi, a local delicacy and appreciate the glory of Golden city. Walk past the 300 year old Salim Singh Haveli, famed for its beautifully arched roof in the shape of a peacock.

Walk ahead to the Patwon-ki-Haveli, one of Jaisalmer’s most prominent attractions, amazingly constructed with mirror work on the walls and ceilings and traditional paintings. Stroll around the area and head back to your hotel. En-route enjoy a quick stop at Tazia Tower, an alluring five-storied building, now converted into a museum storing antics from the golden era. Afterwards you will be dropped-off at your accommodation.
