JODHPUR – JAISALMER (300 KMS)
Arrive at Jodhpur Airport / Railway Station and drive to Jaisalmer.
Arrive Jaisalmer and transfer to your hotel. Jaisalmer - a fairy-tale town in
the Thar Desert founded about 800 years ago by Rawal Jaisal. Unlike any other
city, this desert fortress is one of Rajasthan's most exotic and unusual towns.
Jaisalmer, an important ancient trading centre because of its strategic location
on the camel trade routes, is often described as the 'golden city'. The annual
desert festival takes place in January and February each year and is a riot of
colour and activity. Jaisalmer is also famous for its embroidery, Rajasthani
mirror work, rugs, and blankets, antique, silver jewellry, and stonework and
camel safaris.
After Lunch leave for the city tour of Jaisalmer. Visit the famous Havelis
(mansions) known for their frescoes. Jaisalmer's strategic position on the camel
terrain route brought it great wealth. The merchants grew prosperous and
commissioned great havelis, or mansions, to flaunt their ever-growing status in
society. Made of local golden-yellow sandstone and wood, some of the havelis are
still in excellent condition. The most elaborate and magnificent of all the
Jaisalmer havelis is the Patwaon Ki Haveli. Five Jain brothers-built Haveli
between 1800 and 1860. Salim Singh Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ki Haveli are the other
two havelis that are open to visitors.
Built in 1156 by the Bhatti ruler, Jaisal, THE FORT here stands atop the 80 m
high Trikuta hill. 3 walls and 99 bastions surround the fort. Over the
centuries, the golden sandstone fortress witnessed many battles between the
Bhatti Rajput’s, the Mughals, and the Rathore’s of Jodhpur. Within the fort
complex lie the beautifully carved Jain Temples built between the 12th and 15th
centuries. This houses priceless ancient manuscripts and other exhibits like
astrological charts, besides the Jain equivalent of the Christian Shroud of
Turin.
Afternoon is free to walk around in the colorful and bustling bazaars for
personal exploration or shopping. Overnight stay at your Hotel

an era gone by. The hospitality of the locals, the demure
women, and the colourful turbans -all set against the
beloved desert (Marwar) is something to feel, not just see.
