Jaisalmer Fort, famously known as Sonar Qila or the Golden Fort, is one of India’s most magnificent and well-preserved living forts. Situated in the heart of the Thar Desert, this golden-hued marvel rises majestically above the sandy plains, glowing brilliantly under the sun.

🏜️ A Fort Made of Gold – Quite Literally!

Constructed in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, a Bhati Rajput ruler, Jaisalmer Fort is built from yellow sandstone, which gives it a magical golden hue, especially during sunrise and sunset. This architectural wonder is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also one of the largest fully preserved fortified cities in the world.

What makes it unique is that it is still a “living fort.” Over 3,000 people reside inside its walls, with homes, shops, temples, cafes, and guesthouses giving it a vibrant, bustling atmosphere.
