Rising 76 meters above the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer Fort — also called Sonar Quila (Golden Fort) — is one of the largest fully preserved fortified cities in the world and one of the very few 'living forts' where nearly 3,000 people still reside within its 12th-century walls. Built in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, the fort's massive golden sandstone walls contain a labyrinthine city of narrow lanes, ornate Jain temples with extraordinary marble carvings, the royal palace, havelis converted into hotels, and shops selling everything from puppets to precious stones. The fort glows in different shades of gold throughout the day, earning Jaisalmer its nickname 'The Golden City.'
What makes this place special
Seven interconnected 12th-15th century Jain temples with extraordinarily detailed marble and sandstone carvings — the craftsmanship rivals the famous Dilwara Temples of Mount Abu.

The five-story royal palace with its elaborate jharokha balconies, throne room, and panoramic views of the desert stretching to the horizon in every direction.
The entire fort transforms at sunset, turning from pale gold to deep amber to fiery orange — best viewed from outside the walls near the Gadisar Lake road.
