Jaisalmer Fort - Golden Fort

Kothari’s Patwaon-Ki-Haveli - Often referred to as the golden city of India, Jaisalmer is a stunning city in Rajasthan. Among the many attractions that make this city famous, “Patwon Ki Haveli,” also known as the Mansion of Brocade Merchants, is at the top of the list. Patwon Ki Haveli is a collection of five grand havelis in Jaisalmer. Constructed in 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa, it took nearly 55 years to complete the first haveli. With a fascinating history, Patwon Ki Haveli is actually the first and largest haveli built in Jaisalmer. Historical accounts suggest that Patwa was a very wealthy man and a prominent trader of his era. Due to his wealth, he was able to construct a lavish palace.

Once the residence of the Patwa family, today the cluster of havelis is occupied by the Rajasthan government’s art and craft department. Its exquisite architecture, creative mirror work, intricate carvings, beautiful paintings, and its rich golden-yellow color make this cluster of havelis a favorite among tourists and locals alike.

This artificial lake, constructed around the 12th-13th century, is now a popular spot for visitors. It is an ideal retreat for architecture lovers, culture enthusiasts, and peace seekers.

Desert Safari

Kuldhara - Situated 17km west of Jaisalmer, Kuldhara has an intriguing story. Around 300 years ago, it was a prosperous village of Paliwal Brahmins under the state of Jaisalmer. According to legend, the malevolent eyes of Salim Singh, the powerful and corrupt prime minister of the state, fell on the daughter of the village head, and he desired to marry her by force. He threatened the village with severe consequences if they did not comply with his wish. Instead of submitting to the tyrant’s demand, the Paliwals held a council, and the people of 85 villages abandoned their ancestral homes and disappeared. But that was not all; before leaving, they cursed Kuldhara so that no one would ever be able to settle in their village again. To this day, the village remains desolate, left almost exactly as its inhabitants left it centuries ago.
However, people love the former story; after all, who doesn’t enjoy a touch of romance and mystery in their tales!

Khaba Fort - The Indian state of Rajasthan is renowned for its magnificent forts and palaces. Among its countless forts, Khaba Fort is particularly popular for being unique. Located near the town of Jaisalmer, Khaba Fort is situated in the Khaba village amidst the vast Thar Desert.
This ruined fort once housed a kingdom and was the epicenter of the Kuldhara village. Many tourists visit the site to explore its history and the numerous mysteries that still haunt the village. The abandoned houses near the fort are a popular spot for adventure seekers and myth-busters.
You’ll often see peacocks roaming around the fort with their wings spread wide. Although the Khaba Fort is largely in ruins, one can still find some beautiful walls and a few windows. Among the other remaining structures, there is also a small temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.
