Jaisalmer - Rajasthan

Jaisalmer, "The Golden City", of Rajasthan. The town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone, crowned by a fort, and many houses where people are still living.. Many of the houses and temples are finely sculptured. It lies in the heart of the Thar Desert. We also found a nice guest house inside the fort. We spent there one week and also went on a short camel safari in which we spent a beautiful night on a sand dune in the desert.
