Jaisalmer Tour

 

Palamau Tiger Reserve

Chhatris in Bada Bagh, JaisalmerJaisalmer, a rail journey of 330 Kms from Jodhpur, the impact of the brooding deserts cape intensifies. Amidst these stark surroundings, Jaisalmer offers a rich tapestry of exotica: history and legend, fine architecture and colourful people. In 1156, Rawal jaisal, a usurper to the throne, shifted the capital of the present site. Confident of divine protection- he belonged to the lunar clan Krishna referred to-he set about building his capital, undeterred by the oracle's warning that it would be sacked two and a half times. But far from being considered defeats, these events became subjects for traditional ballads eulogizing Bhatti valour and courage. Like most desert towns, Jaisalmer is dominated by its impressive fort of golden - yellow sandstone, its solid rounded walls and ramparts reinforcing the impression of military might. The seven-story palace is approached through a steep winding path that passes in front of the Temple of Bhawani, the protectress of the Bhattis. The king met his subjects and was entertained in the Hall of public Audience, close to which is his marble throne and Jaslu Kuan, a water source believed to have been created by Krishna. Jaisalmer's strategic position on the overland spice route between India and Central Asia naturally led to the growth of a prosperous merchant community. The best known, is the Patwon Ki Haveli built by the five sons of a patua (tradesman in brocade, gold and silver) family. Gharisar had once supplied water to the city. Amar sagar has the ruins of once beautiful gardens on the banks of a lake. Sam is known for its sand dunes and the venue for the desert festivals. Desert National Parks, is a vast projected Bio-sphere Reserve.
