Jaisalmer Fort Jaisalmer fort rises like a fantastic mirage out of the sands of the Thar desert. It dates back to 1156 and is placed on the 80 m high Trikuta hill. In medieval times Jaisalmer’s entire population could be protected within its walls. Even now, thousands live there amongst the Royal Palaces, shops, mansions and Jain temples. Camel riding A good way to experience the desert is to take a camel ride and to watch the sunset over the dunes. Jaisalmer Haveli's These mansions dominate the town’s labyrinthine lanes. These grand houses were built raised on a plinth to prevent desert sand being blown through the rooms; in fact the ground floor had no living quarters at all. These haveli’s exhibit golden stone facades so finely carved that they resemble lacework. There are latticed stone screens with a wide variety of patterns keeping out the sun but allowing fresh air in.
