Tour Packages for Jaisalmer

Nestled deep in the heart of Thar Desert lies this magical city of Jaisalmer. The name itself conjures up the picture of a traditional, ethnic and beautiful desert yet lively city. Founded by Rawal Jaisal in 1156 A.D., the isolated location of Jaisalmer kept it almost unscathed by outside influences, even during the days of the Raj. Jaisalmer was the last city to sign the Instrument of Agreement with the British.

Then later in the medieval times, the isolated location again worked in its favour as Jaisalmer fell on the main trade route linking India to Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa and the West. Even today, after centuries of onslaught, the place stands intact, impervious to the harsh climate, its monuments and beautiful rich culture remaining undamaged.

One of the last princely citadel in the region, Jaisalmer is the hub of rich merchants engaged in stone-crafting who do their work with great delicacy on the sandstone mansions they build, filling up facades with sculptural filigree, screen windows, delicate marquees and attractive balconies.
