Unique living fort. There are many people who still live inside. Jain temples have beautiful intricate detail walls. There is a section of palace which is open, but otherwise the real charms is to roam in the small lanes. There are many view points from where city can be seen. Very nice vantage point for sunrise and sunsets.

Wonderful place to visit with family and friends. The area is pretty clean and well maintained. It will be good to have a guide with you and are on very reasonable price. You have many historical places within it, like Jain temple, museum, Fort, and many more.Best time to visit is winters.

Decent palace but hate that you have guides attacking you from all sides. The people living there will try to pull you into their shops for purchasing stuff from them. Entry fee is high but you get to see only limited portions of the palace, according to the path shown by the arrows. Fabulous view from all over the palace, great stuff. Bit disappointing though in terms of them not allowing you to explore the entire place.

Only fort in India where people still resides which is itself a royal feeling. The Jaisalmer Fort is huge with marvellous cravings on it, one of my favourite forts so far. To know about the living of the people residing inside of the fort was truly an amazing experience. There are few viewpoints and several Jain temples you can visit, plus there are ample numbers of shops almost to every door from where you can buy souvenirs.The only thing I didn’t like was that after seeing the visitors/tourist the guides jump on you like anything which is quite annoying.

865 years old living fort where warm and smiling people, rich heritage, traditional culture and intricate architecture will meet you at every 10th step.

Great place to visit. Try n spend some time at the fort to grab its true velour.

One of the living fort of India. Visiting period October to February. If you come here to visit, then definitely enjoy the rooftop dining

What a grand fort. You will need bike to travel whole. But you can visit all known places by walk. Thanks to government guide Mr. Raju Sharma we could see all famous places inside fort.

Jaisalmer fort is only the living fort, where more than 500 families live. It gives a glimpse of ancient architecture. The forts massive yellow sandstone walls are a tawny lion colour during the day, fading to honey-gold as the sun sets, thereby camouflaging the fort in the yellow desert. For this reason it is also known as the Sonar Quila or Golden Fort.

Jaisalmer Fort was terrific. The views from the top of the fort are amazing. I would really recommend you to get a stay inside the fort. If you are a backpacker, Id recommend Zostel. The narrow alleys with all the high rise homes & buildings inside, give a serene vibe to this living fort. The wind blows continuously throughout the day & provides a real relief from the heat. Exploring these alleys as a backpacker is just amazing because you never know what youll encounter next, monuments, temples, view points, cafes, shops, etc.

Golden fort is Worlds only Living fort. Approx 2000 house and 500 restaurant here. Fort is made from Stone. All stone shine like gold. A walk in fort is worthful. Inside fort you should visit Jain Temple. Artiature on temple is very beautiful.

Jaisalmer Fort is situated in the city of Jaisalmer, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is believed to be one of the very few living forts in the world (such as Carcassonne, France), as nearly one fourth of the old citys population still resides within the fort.[1] For the better part of its 800-year history, the fort was the city of Jaisalmer. The first settlements outside the fort walls, to accommodate the growing population of Jaisalmer, are said to have come up in the 17th century.Jaisalmer Fort is the second oldest fort in Rajasthan, built in 1156 AD by the Rajput Rawal (ruler) Jaisal from whom it derives its name,[2] and stood at the crossroads of important trade routes (including the ancient Silk road).[1]The forts massive yellow sandstone walls are a tawny lion colour during the day, fading to honey-gold as the sun sets, thereby camouflaging the fort in the yellow desert. For this reason it is also known as the Sonar Quila or Golden Fort.[3] The fort stands amidst the sandy expanse of the great Thar Desert on Trikuta Hill. It is today located along the southern edge of the city that bears its name; its dominant hilltop location making the sprawling towers of its fortifications visible for many miles around.[4]In 2013, at the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Jaisalmer Fort, along with 5 other forts of Rajasthan, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan.Legend has it that the fort was built by Rawal Jaisal, a Bhati Rajput, in 1156 CE.[5] The story says that it superseded an earlier construction at Lodhruva, with which Jaisal was dissatisfied. Thus, a new capital was established when Jaisal founded the city of Jaisalmer.[2]Around 1293-94 CE, Rawal Jethsi faced an eight to nine-year siege by Sultan Alauddin Khalji of Delhi, who is said to have been provoked by a Bhati raid on his treasure caravan.[1] By the end of the siege, facing certain defeat, the Bhati Rajput women committed jauhar, and the male warriors met their fatal end in battle with the Sultans forces. For a few years after the successful siege, the fort remained abandoned, before being eventually reoccupied by some surviving Bhatis.[6]During Rawal Lunakarans reign, around 1530 - 1551 CE, the fort was attacked by an Afghan chief Amir Ali. When it seemed to the Rawal that he was fighting a losing battle, he slaughtered his womenfolk as there was insufficient time to arrange a jauhar. Tragically, reinforcements arrived immediately after the deed was done and the army of Jaisalmer became victorious in its defence of the fort.In 1541 CE, Rawal Lunakaran also fought Mughal emperor Humayun when the latter attacked the fort on his way to Ajmer.[7] He also offered his daughter in marriage to Akbar. Mughals controlled the fort till 1762.[8]The fort remained under the control of Mughals until 1762 when Maharawal Mulraj took control of the fort.The treaty between the East India Company and Mulraj on 12 December 1818 allowed the Mulraj to retain control of the fort and provided for protection from invasion. After the death of Mulraj in 1820, his grandson Gaj Singh inherited control of the fort.[8]With the advent of British rule, the emergence of maritime trade and the growth of the port of Bombay led to the gradual economic decline of Jaisalmer. After independence and the Partition of India, the ancient trade route was totally closed, thus permanently removing the city from its former role of importance in international commerce. Nonetheless, the continued strategic importance of Jaisalmer was demonstrated during the 1965 and 1971 wars between India and Pakistan.[c

Interesting fort to visit nd see the living society at the fort.Jain temples nd the sculpture in the fort are very satisfying nd must seen the place. Great place to visit.

Situated in the heart of Jaiselmer, its such a beauty and treat on eyes! The name golden City aptly justifies itself. If you visit in off season like us plan your visit into the fort either in morning or evening otherwise its very hot. Do visit the various sunset points and Havelis.Overall a very nice & safe place highly recommend for everyone.

Sonar Kella or the golden fort is only the living fort I guess... Such a nice place it is... I stayed one of the many hotels inside the fort itself... Maintained by local people and as well as the government beautifully!

Golden fort called as due to construction in yellow stone in 11 century, available locally. Best time to see is morning. Later bright sun is troublesome.

Very beautiful place Jaisal ,Amarsagar ,Kuldhara ,Khaba Fort ,Sam village too even overall Jaisalmer miss you

One of the most clean and maintained forts. It has some really beautiful Jain temples. Its unbelievable how they managed to build a structure with just locking mechanism as the key. Must visit if you are in Rajasthan.

Awesome fort, must visit .. A journey from my home till Jaisalmer Fort ..

A must visting place. good architecture good scenic beauty of jaisalmer city

Best thing to visit in Jaisalmer.....I have got to know about culture , tradition ,and history about great Jaisalmer .

Great structure .. The only fort having people residing inside.The beauty and Heritagf value of the fort is getting spoiled day day..The outer structure repairred and rebuilded can be easily seen .For a true lover of history the place might not apeal

Must visit place if you go to Jaisalmer, there is facility of auto rickshaw if you cant climb the steep road. Be aware of the local guides at main gates, they try to sell you things but ignore them. Just get a guide from your hotel who would be more trustworthy. And most importantly dont visit Fort from 12-5pm, its hot in there at those hours, you would not enjoy it.

Amazing food at the roof top of the fort with beautiful view of Jaisalmer city. Market in the fort is also a best place for shopping. Only ONE fort in India where the people live

Good one. Guide are available from Rs 200. Sunset point and Jain temple are the places of attraction.

A patch of history from the picturesque Jaisalmer. Though the fort is occupied and modified with the modern amenities, it still bears the charm of the olden days. The few spots accessible to the visitors for free are maintained well. The fort appeared as the main spot in Satyajit Rays move Sonar Kella has become a fate changer for the locals. A must visit for tourists visiting Rajasthan.

Beautiful golden fort and the warm golden colour is very nice. Good background to have beautiful pictures. Would definitely recommend u to visit there. The charm of the city is the traditional vibe which is very different from city life and the narrow lanes which may irritate some but that is what makes the vibe of that place very different from other place.

Really amazing place to have a visit if you are in jaisalmer. Sunset time is recommended.

Guys must visit this place.. You will feel proud on your history and culture. It is a living fort. Around 5k people living in this fort.

Would highly recommend to visit this place. The fort is packed with shops and vendors selling you fancy stuff. Fort also allows three wheelers and two wheelers to go up the narrow lanes.If you are visiting with group, its better to take a guide. That will cost you around Rs 150-500 depending on you negotiation skills. Its better to support locals by buying local and hiring local guides.

I,t Jaisalmer fort rajasthan & resort very very nice

Pure feels of Rajasthan. Had a great fun at there.

Best view of the city from here. Explore the fort in the evening time and then enjoy the spectacular night view of the city from the top of the fort. Click some pics. During the late-night visitors are less, so you can enjoy your space with a view.The jaisalmer Fort also known as the Golden fort is one of a kind and its the only living fort in India... there are 5000 families residing inside the fort. The fort looks more dazzling in the night. Coming to jaisalmer the fort is the beauty that should not be missed

Said to be the only fort with people still living inside in India, a magnificent piece of architecture. It stands tall atop a hillock and is visible from a long distance. Vehicles are not allowed inside, but there is a parking area inside the fort and one outside also. Inside, theres not much to see, except a Jain temple, a museum and an old residential property which has collections from all over the world. The fun part is a large number of shops and restaurants inside the fort, but watch out for overpriced local stuff and do bargain well. the beauty of the fort is highlighted by some sensible and tasteful lighting which one can see after sunset even from a distance. A variety of restaurants inside and on the periphery of the fort offer cuisines right from home cooked local food to Italian.

Worlds only living fort! Wonderful place to visit. Highlight, you can have overnight stay inside the fort!Well maintained and cleanly place. You will get different experience compared to other forts.Better reach by evening, have a overnight stay, take tour around in morning then you can s route to Longewala, the border town in Thar desert in the western part of Jaisalmir dt.

Read the cons as well.Pros:Beautiful fort built under the reign of King Jaisal by carving Meru mountain. So the place gets the name Jaisalmer..There are many families living in fort. Kings palace and queens palace is made a museum with artifavts, clothes, pottery, statues, paintings etc..View form the top is marvellous..If you need guide , contact pandith ji ( Mr.hanuman ). He charges ₹50. Gives good information..Cons :Bikers follow u everywhere for guide , hotels , desert safari..Some attack u..Guides torture tourists to hire them..Free parking spaces are full of fake PPL who rob tourists with parking fee..Its not at all a safe place for families or women or couple

One of a kind Golden Fort. The only fort where still people reside.. they are continuing to stay in their ancestors houses in the fort .Lot of old shops selling vintage things .Well maintained and clean .Easily accessible and very good transport system.You can take e-rickshaw as well .Also some amazing cafes with the city view ♥️Do visit and explore this place.Do check leather bags .

Only living fort available in India...Try to avoid guide because their is no sucn things available to see..if you visit patwo ki haweli already than dont spend your money on baa ki haveli because both are same..for the city view Maharaj and maharani palace

Great place with great history 😄, must visit if you around,The guide charge is only 50 rupees,And if you dont want to hire a guide you can use earphone where you can get a audio tour of entire Fort,Visit and comeback with memories

Interesting and so different to the normal. Living and shopping in the fort is an experience worth having. The architecture and sandstone lacework seems impossible. There is so much not changed in hundreds of years and yet plenty of restoration happening, keeping it original and unique.

Like an oasis in desert. A must visit place. Very friendly and warm people. Must visit spot.

One of the best historical place of Rajasthan and also of India. Recognised as world heritage site , this palace is famous for its unique texture and type of stones used for building it. It is also called as swarn kila because in day time when sunlight falls on it ,it shines like gold . It is one of the best example of unique architectural design found in Rajasthan and India. This fort is famous in whole India and is recognised as one the best forts to visit followed by chittorgarh and amber fort. You will not regret on visiting this place. Its is a perfect picnic destination especially during winter and monsoon season because the pleasant weather allows you to tour the whole fort comfortably. It is also famous for its history. One should definitely visit this fort and also know the history of it and the place called Jaisalmer.

Beautiful and mesmerizing fort of Maharaj Jaiswal. This fort is very alive because of its 4000 residents.City view and sunset view is a bonus.

Golden city of India....best place to visit in jaisalmer...most important dont visit between 12-5pm its very hot there....you can get nice pictures at the top of the fort

JAISALMER FORTThe Jaisalmer Fort also goes by the name Sonar Quila (Golden Fort) as it rises from the desert itself and seems to become one with the golden hues of the sand. The setting sun adds its own magic and shrouds the fort with mystique. The fort is constructed in the classic style of the royals by local craftsmen. This fort is a world heritage site and forms an important plot point in one of Satyajit Ray’s famous Feluda stories and corresponding movie, Sonar Kela (The Golden Fortress).

Amazing placeHeart of jaisalmer ❣😍

One of the best living fort I have ever seen at Jaisalmer fortI loved it ❤️

Beauty of Jaisalmer, Jaisalmer fort houses a vast number of shops, hotels and temples. If you are a history enthusiast or a shopaholic this place is definitely for you. Hotels offering rooftop dining adds to its beauty. However the human contribution towards the littering and vanishing beauty of the fort itself cant be avoided, my personal recommendation is that you should visit this place once. Fast food restaurant and cafes and street food around the fort are bliss. The best time to roam around the fort and the market is in the morning while keeping your evening reserved for the city view from hotel rooftop.A good number of hotel can be found inside the fort both expensive and budget friendly. Approach the staff to have a look around of the hotel room and the rooftop, while keeping in mind that the price depends upon your negotiation skills.

It’s a great place to visit! The fort is so vibrant. Jain Temple is a must visit there, also you should visit Vishu and Shiva temple. The temple Architecture is in medieval design.At Night the Fort looks fantastically awesome.Interesting Fact- it’s only fort in India where families still live inside almost 400 families still live inside

For photoshoot and for watching our indian culture thsi is best place and you can watch best carving on the temple done by ancientsSmall business are also placed in this so you can shoppingThere are ticket per person to visit inside the fort and separate for photoshoot

Best view of the city from here. Explore the fort in the evening time and then enjoy the spectacular night view of the city from the top of the fort. Click some pics. During the late-night visitors are less, so you can enjoy your space with a view.

Amazing vibe of the place, cant wait to visit again!

Jaisalmer Fort is one of the magnificent fort of India. Beside palace many local families are also residing in this fort. It is like a small city itself. It is recommended to take a guide with you or else you might forget the ways in the fort. Dont miss the Palace museum inside the fort. At the parking many Auto-rickshaw drivers will going to ask you to drop you up the fort and will say its hard to walk but a normal person can easily walk to the place without any Auto-rickshaw. There are many sunset and sunrise spots too in this fort. A lot of local handicrafts shops are also inside this fort.

Very good architecture , the fort was built on high surface area , incredible man made architecture

The top of this point is mesmerising💫🌤😌

Must visit with your friends and family. Its too good.

Really Very Nice Fort. Golden Fort of Jaisalmer. I enjoyed with my friends.I love fort

Jaisalmer Fort is a majestic structure located in the heat of the Thar Desert, in the westernmost part of Rajasthan. Standing on a former trade route, Jaisalmer Fort is the only inhabited fort in the world. Besides, this place seems taken out of the “Tales of the Arabian Nights” given its Arabic influence, clear throughout its architecture.From November to January you can take a direct flight from New Delhi to Jaisalmer, but keep in mind that this is only during the peak tourist season. Otherwise, the airport will be closed and you will have to take a flight from New Delhi to Jodhpur.

Good one. You need time of at least 2hrs to explore it completely. Stretched over 5kms if you are interested. Its a live fort, which means fort is still filled with commercial shops and houses. People live here. Palace is again at the middle of this fort.

Amazing place, awesome architecture fort, its triple ringed defense architecture. In Fort 7 Jain temples built by yellow sandstone and there are many elaborate havelis carved from yellow sandstone. In India only 1 fort in Currently living in peoples. Fort thats Guide to will great explain in details history and clicking some good pictures. Must be to visit this place. Awesome.

2 out of 5 * are because its not allowed to view much of fort area......A jain temple (only part of temple view is allowed for ordinary tourist) and a city view, which is seen from so many other places too and a paid museum.....No feel of visit at ancient fort or Royal Kingdom. If one has visited other Royal forts in Rajasthan, visiting here is just loss of valuable holiday time.

As you people must be aware it is the one and only living fort in India. Its architecture is a living marvel. Wish people living in the fort take good care of it. The place is literally shabby and you dont get a good feel at many place.It will take you to a state where you fall in pity for this living beauty.There are two Canon view points from where you can get a beautiful view of the city. A museum which again has a view at the top, temples with beautiful ornate pagodas. The place is one another main touristic spot inside the fort which has a entrance fee.Make sure you walk from the entrance of the fort through all the places, witnessing the intricate work of the ancient days and the smaller streets.The people here are very polite and when you ask something, they give you entire history of the place. When a random uncle was speaking with me, he said the science behind the smaller streets, it is constructed in that way so that there is no less hot and chillness felt during the summer and winter seasons.

Jaisalmer fort is a beautiful place to visit for refreshing ancient environment. It represents all the equipment which used to implement in past years. It covers all talented labours performance. There are many templates to explore and many ancient pieces to fill.

Love the massive fort structure. But its suggested not to travel on national holidays,the fort may be closed. We went on Diwali holidays and it got closed also later we got to know it was opened till 2 oclock that day. Anyways you can roam around the street inside the living fort. Its beautiful and shop there and remember to bargain good. You will find many artifacts, clothes, bedsheets, many more local stuffs.

Its very nice accommodation I. Suryagarh jaisalmer Rajasthan

One of the landmark forts of Rajasthan. Has a great vibe to it. There are good museums, shops and restaurants inside it. Better to hire a guide to understand the history and importance of each landmark inside it. Place is really clean and well maintained.People of Jaisalmer are really great hosts. Good amount of hotels around it provide view of the fort. Looks really mesmerzing in the night.

World famous Jaisalmer fort is one of the most famous Tourist place in Rajasthan. It exibits the Rich cultural heritage of Royals of Golden City Jaisalmer. Here, You can get glimpses of most beautiful, warm and welcoming culture of Rajasthan. You can witness Various ancient artefacts, weapons and Cannons etc. Also Sunset Point in the Fort gives an mesmerizing view. Visit this place to have an experience of lifetime.

The fort complex itself is amazing .. with shops and local population adding charm to the overall feel and ambience.. people are warm and welcoming.. the intricate jaali work on sandstone is really amazing and seems like done on wood.. its definitely worth a look . Probably the best I have seen.. the king and queen palace visit can be avoided as there isnt much interesting except for the view from top.. but if u come from far to visit then why not go with the flow and just enjoy it. Word of advice..hire a guide, they will tell some interesting tidbits to make it enjoyable.. for shopping fort shops are reasonable..

Beautiful fort, apart from main palace whole market and streets of the fort is so colorful and eye-catchy. A place which deserve your time. You need to take tickets for clicking pictures in your mobile when you visit the palace. That was the strangest thing I have ever seen.

We visited Jaisalmer Fort on the swearing in ceremony of the new king. A lifetime experience that took us back in history and time. Their were colorful celebrations and events all around. The fort was very well decorated to welcome the new king. This is one of the few living forts in India and more than 4000 people stay inside the fort. Their are nice cafe and restaurants all around the fort, some with the lovely view of the city scapes around. We had lunch at the Lake View Restaurant. The food was excellent.

Its very awesome and a history site more than 500yrs. Old. Young kids should come here for small study

This fort is also called as Golden Fort. Parking fess is 50/- No entry fess to the fort.The only fort where still people reside.. they are continuing to stay in their ancestors houses in the fort .We can find Lot of old shops and temple’s inside the fort.To visit king palace the entry fess is 100/-Hire a gide ,they wil tel some interesting information...You can see the city view from top..

Amazing place to visit....Fort is designed in such a way that it attracts most of the people who visit there.

Excellent and well maintained fort ever seen

Jaisalmer Fort is a tourist attraction. Fort is so marvellous. Its like you are in that time when Kings were ruling, the golden walls of the fort are treat to watch. There are many locals who are still residing inside the fort, theres a cafeteria, local fashionable wearable-- Rangilo Rajasthan as they say. Book a guide for better experience. Theres charge for photography which you can pay upfront.The city looks beautiful from the top of the fort.

The experience of stay in living fort is awesome. Hotels and restaurants with awesome view. Only problem is the quality of food which I found very average. Also the musician at the canon point 2 hours every morning and evening is like a cherry on the cake.

A good living fort, it was super amazing to see people actually living there. The place was golden in colour with good sunlight looking like gold. Dont go for guide. Just give half and hour there, it is like market now.

Amazing place and only living palace. Lot of stuffs to see inside. Avoid shops inside the palace.

Wao . Excellent golden fort . Sonar Kella. Jaisalmer

Its so huge. A whole new city out there. You will take 2 days to explore this fort. Its massive. Many cafes and homestays and antique shops in this fort. There are 7000 people living here

Ghettoised fort with population living inside. Beware of quick buck guides

Exquisite place one should definitely visit in their life time

Amazing place. My second visit to Jaisalmer and I dont find any place better to sit after sunset. Take your own music. Infact phone will also do justice. So many good roof top cafes are there.

Known as the Golden City, its distinguished by its yellow sandstone architecture. Dominating the skyline is Jaisalmer Fort, a sprawling hilltop citadel buttressed by 99 bastions. Behind its massive walls stand the ornate Maharajas Palace and intricately carved Jain temples

Awesome architecture fort, its triple ringed defense architecture. In Fort 7 Jain temples built by yellow sandstone and there are many elaborate havelis carved from yellow sandstone.

Iconic fort where the normal public still resides. Its the largest living fort in the country! No entry tickets to the fort. However if you want to visit the Jain temple inside the fort, they charge you Rs. 30.Its best if you do a guide as hell walk you through the entire fort, its history and take you to beautiful picture spots from where you can click beautiful pictures of the city.

Ancient fort with 4k family members residing inside the fort. The fort has a lot to offer in terms of architecture. There are several shops and museums. Lot of hotels and cafes which has nice sunset view points

Small but very good fort. It is called as Ajay fort as well as no one have ever won this fort. It in on little hight, so if you can not walk on hight take small rixa it is easy available. You can see city view from the top. If you are interested in history of fort take guide with you. Moreover in Jaisalmer you can find Ayurvedic stone glasses, pots etc. but only buy from authorised places or else you ended up with fake products. Its nice and small fort.
