> Fort & Palaces > Jaisalmer
This captivating sandy outpost in the western extremities of the Thar desert has
been dubbed as the Golden City since honey coloured stones were used to make the
walls of the fort of Jaisalmer. This desert fort resembles a gigantic sandcastle.
Centuries ago, the camel route between India and Central Asia to the city brought
it great wealth. The fort itself is an array of Jain temples and is the old palace
of the former rulers.
