Jaisalmer Fort – In Pictures (Part I)
Jaisalmer Fort seems like an exquisite world stolen or maybe borrowed from our fairy tales. The moment I stepped inside its premises, I was awestruck! It brims with all kinds of beautiful things – colorful shops, bookstores, cafes, restaurants and much more to delight the senses.
It was built by the Bhati Rajput ruler Rao Jaisal in the 11thcentury. The fort is massive and grand – it is the pivotal tourist attraction of Jaisalmer (Rajasthan).
I think I should just let the pictures do the talking!
