Like a yellow sand stone
fabric that seems to issue skywards from the golden sands, Jaisalmer Fort is
sheer magic standing proud to a height of hundred meters over the city with
its 99 bastions, the fort is a splendid sight at any time of the day its
double lined rampart enclose a palace complex, the carved sandstone havilies
of rich jain merchants and Hindu temples.
While the havelis and the palace warrant the mandatory visit, Jaisalmer is
incredible for the experience it beings alive of the medieval township
caught in a time warp, as you move up its ancient cobbled streets.
Jaisalmer is also one of the few forts in the world, which enclose and
entire town. People still live inside the fort walls. All parts of the fort,
including the havelis with their carved balconies and the temples project an
unmatched architectural purity preserved because of Jaisalmer's remoteness.
