Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Jaisalmer’s fort is a living urban centre, with about 3000 people residing within its walls. It is honeycombed with narrow winding lanes, lined with houses and temples – along with a large number of handicraft shops, guesthouses and restaurants. You enter the fort from the east, near Gopa Chowk, and pass through four massive gates on the zigzagging route to the upper section. The final gate opens into the square that forms the fort’s centre, Dashera Chowk.
2
This beautiful haveli is located in the heart of town in small lanes. Privately owned 19th-century haveli known for ornate exterior carvings & unique architecture.
3
Stop 3
The biggest fish in the haveli (traditional, ornately decorated residence) pond is Patwa-ki-Haveli, which towers over a narrow lane, its intricate stonework like honey-coloured lace. Divided into five sections, it was built between 1800 and 1860 by five Jain brothers who made their fortunes in brocade and jewellery. It’s all very impressive from the outside; however, the first of the five sections, the privately owned Kothari’s Patwa-ki-Haveli Museum, richly evokes 19th-century life and is the only one worth paying entry for.
Other sections include two largely empty government-owned 'museums' and two private sections containing shops.
4
A Prominent Landmark In This Spectacular Heritage City Is Mandir Palace, Which Had Been The Residence Of The Rulers Of Jaisalmer For More Than Two Centuries. Mandir Palace Is An Exquisitely Carved Architectural Marvel Of Ornate Balconies, Canopies And Delicately Carved Screens That Represent A High Point Of Local Craftsmanship In Its Finest And Purest Form. A Noticeable Feature Of Mandir Palace Is Its Tower Called ‘Badal Vilas’, Which Stands Out As The Tallest Structure Below The Hill-Top City Fort.
5
Gadi Sagar lake situated to the south of the city of Jaisalmer. Gadi Sagar a rain-water lake of Jaisalmer, is located amidst calm and cool surroundings.
