Things to do in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

March 31, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

The dramatic and romantic desert fortress of Jaisalmer is an exotic city in Rajasthan’s great Thar Desert. "The Golden City" rose to prominence as a result of its position on camel trade routes. It's now most famous for the 12th-century fort and ornate "Havelis," fine merchant-built houses and pavilions in the city’s medieval lanes. The surrounding Desert National Park offers opportunities to observe blackbucks, desert foxes and chinkaras amid the rolling dunes, rugged crags and waterholes.

Tilon Ki Pol

Reviewed By Arup1981 - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

This is the Gate or Pol..one need to go through to reach the banks of the Gadisar lake.. This t arched gateway is made of yellow sandstone, and has intricately carved windows and chhatris...the carving on yellow sandstones amazes, the wooden window pattern also attractive... It also has a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna adjoining the pol...the tickect counter for boating is just adjacent to this gate .. The Market of Traditional Rajasthanu handicrafts here is an additional attraction..
