The golden city of Jaisalmer sits majestically in the far west of Rajasthan; its fort soars above the dusty Thar desert and its walls envelop a labrynth of twisting narrow streets, still inhabited today. It’s a magnificant place, and there are few cities in India that evoke such mystery and intrigue.  Sadly Jaisalmer’s hawkers have an unfavorable repuation these days and this can become a little tiring while walking through the forts steamy and narrow streets.. For many a camel ride out into the dunes is what makes this place, providing an impossibly romantic and incomparable experience. We think it’s well worth a visit if a desert adventure is what you are after.
