Jaisalmer is the 3rd largest district by territorial region in the country. Jaisalmer is also known as 'GOLDEN CITY', because most of the house in this city has golden colour. Most of the houses look like forts and has very beautiful architecture. Jaisalmer fort is the only fort in India where quarter of city's population still lives while Kings's place is now a museum in the fort.
Above was the short introduction of city, i had a 3 days trip there. And it was a memorable one, people are so humble there , they are ready to help and explaining everything so well. it was so hot even in the last week of November , it was completely giving me feel that it was May or June of any other normal city.
Jaisalmer is a city where it is very difficult to survive in summers because there is no other source of income other than tourism, thats why people only earn in winters and spend the earning through out the years, this is the only reason i thought of writing about the city, we all know about this city but it is not so well explored .
So Here the places which can be explored in the city,
Day one:- You can stay at jaisalmer city and visit patwon ki haveli, Haveli is very beautiful and best part about the haveli is that it is not a single haveli but a cluster of five havelis. You can see beautiful architecture of Indian Heritage.
