Jaisalmer, the golden city
Jaisalmer, an important ancient trading centre because of its strategic location on the camel trade routes, is often described as the ‘golden city’. Jaisalmer is blanketed in golden-brown sand. Studded with stone forts and palaces, the enchanting city is one of Rajasthan’s secret gems.
