Jaisalmer, gloriously known as the Golden City, is a living desert fairy tale rising from the heart of the Thar. Its honey-coloured sandstone fort, intricate havelis, and endless golden dunes have captivated travellers for centuries. Once a thriving caravan trading post on the ancient Silk Route, this remote desert kingdom of the Bhati Rajputs still carries the romance of a bygone era — where camel caravans cross the dunes at dusk and the fort walls glow like burnished gold in the setting sun.
