Jaisalmer Fort, or Sonar Killa, is the only fort in India where people still live inside the walls, and it has been that way since the 12th century. Our guide walks you through the narrow lanes, the Jain temples with their carved stonework, and Patwa Haveli, a cluster of five havelis built by the same merchant family. You'll come away understanding why this city looks the way it does.

Highlights

  • Sonar Killa, the only living fort in India
  • Ancient Jain temples with intricate carvings
  • Patwa Haveli and its remarkable stonework
  • Panoramic views of the golden city from the ramparts
