Itinerary
Jaisalmer Fort
Admission not included120 min
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, and stood at the crossroads of important trade routes (including the ancient Silk road)The fort has palace,jain temples,city view.its a living fort which has 4000 inhabitants .lots of houses ,hotels,restaurants.
Nathmal Ji Ki Haveli
30 min
Nathmal ki Haveli, Jaisalmer is a late 19th century architecture that was once used to be the Prime Minister's house. It is famous for its extraordinary architecture and is considered to be the best in Jaisalmer. Apparently, there is an interesting story behind it. The grandeur structure is hard work of two brothers, Hathi and Lullu, who were jewellers and not architect. They both started with different facets of the building simultaneously. As a result, the left and right wing of the building is same but not identical. The scriptures made on the Haveli were never seen by the architect brothers in real life and were engraved by descriptions from the people who had seen it.
Kothari's Patwaon-Ki-Haveli
Admission not included45 min
The merchants of Jaisalmer built some of the most ornate residences ever. Patwon Ki Haveli is made of Jaisalmer sandstone, these are adorned with jaalis and elaborate façades. The most skilful stonework is done on the outside, since they were a show of wealth more than anything else. The biggest and the most ornate of the havelis is the Patwon-ki-Haveli, a set of five houses adjacent to each other, built by five Jain brothers in the first half of the 19th century. These were the five sons of Guman Chand, a trader in textiles and precious metals.

Memorable Day Spent in Jaisalmer!
Harishji took us along for a 5 hour tour of the Jaisalmer Fort & surrounding attractions such as Nathmal & Patwon ki Haveli. With his amazing story telling ability & sense of humour, we had an enriching download of Jaisalmer’s history, got an amazing tour of the fort including a panaromic view from a cafe, details of the beautiful jain temple in fort premises, a taste of the famed Kachori & Ghotwa and also the story of Satyajit Ray shooting his famous “Sonar Kella” ! He also arranged our desert tour which was memorable …
We booked his services through Viator & I recommend him for anyone who wishes to understand the history of this beautiful city & see its many attractions…

Amazing guided tour of Jaisalmer
Harish is a fantastic guide. He took us through an excellent walk inside the Jaisalmer Fort pointing out noteworthy sites and providing the right amount of information to make the walk interesting. Harish also knows the best places inside the fort where you can take a short break, use a restroom or sip on a drink while you refresh yourself. He took us to the intricately carved Jain temples, the wonderful havelis as well as Bada Bagh to see the cenotaphs amazingly lit up in the rays of the setting sun. Harish is fluent in English, articulate and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful day exploring Jaisalmer with him. An added benefit with Harish, is that he is an excellent photographer and he took some great snaps capturing the memories from this trip which we would always cherish.

It was a pleasure exploring Jaisalmer with you and your appreciation for my photography skills is a wonderful bonus 😊 I’m glad the photos will help you cherish these memories for years to come.
Thank you once again for recommending me. I hope to welcome you again in Jaisalmer someday—maybe for another walk or a desert experience next time.
