Sightseeing in Jaisalmer
India Travel Packages - The golden Jaisalmer Fort is the very first place for most visitors to this desert outpost. The fort towering high above the sprawling city of Jaisalmer has an exciting, almost fairytale quality to it. The fort is often spoken of as a ‘living museum’ because of its many ‘havelis’ – the mansions of the rich merchants built in the 19th century - Travel Packages of India.
