Thar desert - Jaisalmer - थार रेगिस्तान - जैसलमेर


Despite its location far in the Thar desert, Jaisalmer was a very prosperous empire thanks to its strategic location on the silk trading route. The city and old fort are 500 years old in a yellow stone, which under the sun justifies the nickmane of Jaisalmer as the golden city. In addition to the imperial palace, the fort of Jaisalmer protects a vivid little city and some magnificently carved Jain temples.
