Amuser Tour of Jaisalmer - Rajasthan

Fort Rajwada is a regal way of experiencing Jaisalmer. This luxury hotel stands tall with the exquisite architecture blending with the picturesque & rich heritage of the Golden City – JAISALMER. Built in 12th century, Jaisalmer was founded by Prince Jaisal, a Krishna Vanshi Rajput and hence was named after him. The Jaisalmer induces a vivacious picture of breathtaking and sheen desert. The warmth and the energy that prevail with the local inhabitants make it into a town with a special magic. One of the main attractions is the imposing 12th century Jaisalmer Fort. The exotic Havelis, built by wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer are yet another interesting aspect of the desert city. The romantic sand dunes that surround the city have mystical power and the best way of exploring them and the desert around is by a camel safari.


Jaisalmer Fair & Festivals

Desert Festival :- Desert Festival is the perfect occasion to take a glimpse into the royal past and affluent cultural heritage of Jaisalmer. The festival offers a breathtaking spectacle of folk dances, traditional songs and various competitions that virtually set the deserted land of Jaisalmer on fire. The festival exudes a delightful spirit and for three days the entire town is clustered with colorfully dressed people.

Jaisalmer Fort The Jaisalmer fort is golden yellow in color. Every part of Fort including outer walls made of soft yellow Jurassic sandstone. So this fort is called The Golden Fort. It has some havelis,three beautifully sculptured Jain Temples and five interconnected palaces with four gateways like Akhaiyal,Ganesh Pol,Suraj Pol and Hava Pol.The fort has three exquisitely carved jain temples dedicated to the Jain Tirthankars Rishabhdev,Sambhavnath and Paraswanath.

Folklore Museum This is the interesting place to find out the local articles like the wooden statues of Radha and Krishna, musical instruments, paintings etc.

Tazia Tower This is a pagoda style structure looming up from the Badal Mahal with beautiful ‘Taazias’(decorated with bamboo,paper and tinsel replicas)which is carried out in procession during Moharram by the Muslims.

Nathmalji-ki-Haveli : This 19th century made haveli is a masterpiece of achitecture craftsmanship. The left and right wings of the haveli is fully carved and the interior walls are decorated with miniature paintings.

Patwon-ki-Haveli : This is the most famous haveli in Jaisalmer. It is full with carved pillars and long decorated corridors and chambers. One of the apartments of this five storied haveli is painted with beautiful Rajput mural paintings.
