Your visit to Jaisalmer is incomplete without visiting this magnificent place located around 110 kms. from Jaisalmer town which is around 3 hours drive and yes it is totally worth it. The roads leading to Longewala are smooth and you will find vast open spaces of the Thar Desert on either side of the road. The Yudh Sthal showcases the factual account of the 1971 war that took place here and it has on display captured tanks, guns, artillery etc. that were left behind by the retreating army. It also highlights the glorious and selfless contribution of the officers and jawans who risked everything in the line of duty and their unflinching dedication to the protection of the nation. A museum in the compount exhibits all the relevant information about the war which is descriptive. A visit to this place also brings out the nostalgic memories of those events and a chance to be proud of our Army who despite all adversities defend the security and sovereignty of the nation. It is a must visit destination of the Jaisalmer itinerary. Period.

Maharana Pratap Memorial is max 5 min drive from mesmerizing Haldighati. First stop can be Chetak's Samadhi, then head up for grand Maharana Statue. Further move towards the museum, where you can see light and sound show with background based on few events of Maharana. Overall a mesmerizing historical experience. One must visit this place if they honor the bravery of Vir Maharana Pratap. Purely historical place.

Reviewed By AnaP424 - Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom
Our fab driver took us here first thing this morning so we could get a feel for Jaipur before visiting the more famous sights - and what a great suggestion it was ! So it’s a bit of a climb up (via more of a ramp / “flat steps” if you could call them that), but there are two small stopping points on the way up, so we found the ascend manageable and we’re not particularly fit. When we got to the top we were like “wowee”. You can see the whole city and get a really good perspective of beautiful enchanting Jaipur. What an intro!
9. Chaurasi Khambon ki Chhatri

Reviewed By Debabrata19 - Mumbai, India
This attraction is on the outskirts of Bundi - ideally a 3 or 4 wheeler is recommended if you are visiting. Once you go in, there is a ticket which has to purchased. You can buy a single ticket or a composite ticket (good for 3 attractions). I would recommend buying the composite ticket. You can go in, climb the steps and sit under the cenotaph. It is very nice and cool. It is actually a Shiva temple with a shivling inside the cenotaph. I would recommend this for a visit.
