Back to all experiences

Begin your Jaisalmer exploration with a visit to Gadisar Lake, an ancient man-made water reservoir that was once the only source of water for the city. Surrounded by temples and ghats, it's a peaceful spot perfect for photography. Then proceed to Vyas Chhatri, a collection of beautiful cenotaphs (chhatris) dedicated to the memory of the sage Vyas. These intricately carved sandstone structures offer panoramic views of the city and are particularly stunning during sunset.

Highlights

  • Boating beside the temples and ghats of Gadisar Lake
  • Intricately carved sandstone cenotaphs at Vyas Chhatri
  • One of the finest sunset points over the golden city
