To Travel is to Live

A post about our trip to Jaisalmer was long due on this space. We had been to this beautiful city in Rajasthan in February and since then I have been just thinking about it. Well, today I went ahead and worked on this post.
Jaisalmer also known as the Golden City is one of the popular tourists destination in Rajasthan. Much of its fame come from the 'Pushkar Mela' that happens here every year. But, the fair generally takes place in October or November it was not in our plans. Instead, we enjoyed the city with all its sand dunes, fort and havelis. Even though the city is highly commercialized today, there are parts in the city that still retains the regal charm of the bygone era. The Jaisalmer Fort is one of the main attractions of the city - the interesting thing about this fort is that people still inhabit the fort. In fact, the fort is a bustling town in itself!
The intricate carvings on the stone, the massive fort, the enchanting havelis, the narrow by-lanes, the golden sand dunes, a mesmerizing sunset and a lot more, will keep you entertained and engaged when you visit this charming city in Rajasthan.
I will let the pictures do the talking now. I hope you have a good time going through this picture-heavy post.
I will take your leave with a quote from Dalai Lama. It says all about the pleasures of traveling and exploring.
"Once a year go some place you have never been before."
Thank you for stopping by! Cheers!

Beautiful photographs & enjoyed journeying through Jaisalmer through your words & visuals :-)
ReplyDeleteEvery city of Rajasthan has a uniqueness, an individual character all it's own. I never tire of visiting Raj, including small towns & cities . Unfortunately, we missed out on Jaisalmer , though did the camel ride in the golden sands of Jodhpur.
I enjoy reading your book reviews, too, although don't often comment :-) Keep up the good work !
