Jaisalmer stands mysterious and magical in the Thar Desert. Driving past barren landscapes to the west of Rajasthan, one comes upon a distinctive Fort looming on the horizon. For a fanciful moment, you could imagine yourself in a completely different age. The age of the fearless desert warriors who ruled Jaisalmer in yesteryears has given way to craftsmen and stone carvers who work away at their ancient trade. The city now has the hospitality and handicrafts industry in the narrow alleyways of the walled city.
