Jaisalmer, the Golden city of India is located in the state of Rajasthan. Jaisalmer has experienced everything, from being a booming commercial hub to a well-liked tourist destination in Rajasthan.

Not merely “golden” in the sense of old, but “golden” in colour. The entire town, which is surrounded by the yellow Thar desert, is constructed of yellow sandstone. This gives it a stunning, warm yellow hue, therefore the nickname.

Jaisalmer is indeed a “land of wonders,” and there is much to discover in this city’s vivacious past, culture, natural beauty, and legacy. This city is filled with marvels and boasts in every nook and cranny. The Jaisalmer Fort, often known as the Golden Castle, is a must-see UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
