Jaisalmer
The
golden - yellow sandstone of Jaisalmer Fort, over 800 years old, crowns
the Trikuta Hill. Within its walls, defended by 99 turrets, lies the
old city, nearly a quarter of modern Jaisalmer. Seen from outside,
the sight must be almost identical to what was seen by merchants on
their overland camel caravans to central Asia..... 
No
trip to Jaisalmer is complete without a trip to the most picturesque
dunes of Sam.The ripples on the wind-caressed dunes,that create an
enchanting mirage, are surely a delight for a tigger-happy photographer.
Various cultural programmers are organised against the backdrop of
these fascinating sand dunes.Exciting camel safaris allow you to get
the real feel of the desert on the camel back. 
Built
by a courtesan, it used to be the main source of drinking water in
the olden times. Today, an arched gateway leads to a small tank flanked
by shrines and well laid out gardens and flower beds. A scenic rain
water lake with numerous beautiful shrines around. The lake is an
idyllic spot for outings. A scenic rain water lake with numerous beautiful
shrines around and a spectacular avian variety.The lake is an idilic
spot for outings. 
The
late 19th century haveli with intricate architecture is a display
of sheer craftsmanship.The left and right wings of the mansion which
were craved by two brothers are not identical but very similar and
balanced in design.The interior walls are ornate with splendid miniature
paintings.
This
300 year old haveli of Jaisalmer's Prime Minister to Maharaja Rawal
Gaj Singh- Salim Singh,has a beautiful bule cuopla roof with superbly
craved brackets in the form of peacocks.This extraordinary mansion
in yellow stone is covered with intricate carvings and has an elaborate
projecting balcony on the top storey. The mansion is one of the most
noteable of the array of havelis. 
The
Desert National Park, which encloses the Sam Sand Dunes, is a place
that preserves the natural ecosystem of the desert land. Cacti, thorny
trees and shrubs can be seen growing easily without being taken care
of. It has some vegetation that survives in the dry and arid soil.
It also has few animal species like the monitor lizard, desert foxes,
porcupines.
