Jaisalmer Fort

The biggest tourist attraction in Jaisalmer is the imposing Jaisalmer Fort. Situated in the middle of the enormous Thar Desert, the Jaisalmer Fort is the second oldest fort in Rajasthan.

Built in 1156, this 250-feet high fortress is surrounded by a 30-feet high wall. The Jaisalmer Fort has 99 citadels and numerous wells that are big sources of water.

The first of the three walls surrounding the fort was constructed by a local Jain panchayat in the 15th century. The other fortifications were completed by the Rawals.

There are four gates for the Jaisalmer Fort. Known as the Akhai Pole, Suraj Pole, Bhuta Pole and the Hawa Pole, these gateways were built to strengthen the defense system of the fortress.

The fort houses five magnificent palaces, namely Sarvottam Vilas, Akhai Vilas, Gaj Mahal, Rang Mahal and Moti Mahal. Most of these palaces have exquisite décor, murals and frescoes-adorned walls and arches. The balconies of the rooms of these palaces offer a spectacular view of the ramparts and the desert sands.

The Jaisalmer Fort has homes of merchants and shop owners within its premises. In fact, one-third of the population of Jaisalmer lives in the small houses on the narrow lanes of the fort.

A camel safari in Jaisalmer takes you on a round of the fort wherein you can get soaked in the magnificence of its still-undiminished beauty.
