This is the land that has survived all odds. This is proved by the massive Fort, which has outlived almost 850 years! The golden hue of this structure, within which an entire city resides, is one of the most enduring images of the desert land. Add to this the magic created by multi-tiered havelis, towers, ornate gateways, striking lakes and the mystical sand dunes. Not just ornately done, Jaisalmer is also one of the most secular states here, proved by the fact that within the towering Fort resides colonies of Hindus, Jains, Muslims and Brahmins. Jaisalmer has occupied an interesting place in ballads and plays, and you must make it a point to hear them when you reach here. And that is what will keep you coming back, for a long, long times.
