Arabian nights in Jaisalmer.
Summer Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Shine!”
The golden city with eternal shine.
What do you need more in life than good friends and great adventures?
College friends reunited in the golden city of Jaisalmer after four decades. We decided to embark on a journey of adventure and travel together to experience the sand dunes of Jaisalmer and make shared memories. Our craving for colourful Rajasthan made us zero in on Jaisalmer.
All of us met in Jaipur and traveled by road to Jaisalmer. Jaipur to Jaisalmer, the entire drive was spent catching up about the years gone by. Each of us had a story to tell.
Jaisalmer is the golden city in the heart of the Thar desert. It is considered a poster city of Incredible India.
With its rich cultural heritage, sand-coloured structures, and endless desert, it is worth a visit.
Standing in the heart of the Thar desert with its limitless expanse of sand, Jaisalmer reminds you of the Arabian night fables.
The Golden Fort is one of the largest living forts in the world. It stands amidst the sandy expanse on Trikula hill. It is a UNESCO world heritage site
The golden colour attracts tourists from all over the world. The entire fort structure is made of yellow sandstone and looks stunning. It seems like a golden structure from a distance.
During the day, the sun’s rays enhance the fort’s beauty and make it shine and shimmer.
It took us a couple of hours to see the entire fort and visit the gem and jewellery shops, Havelis, and temples in the fort. Hotels, homestays, and restaurants inside the fort area give you a local feel.
People come to the fort to view the sunset. There is nothing like watching a beautiful sunset to end a day.
“We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” -John Hope Franklin.
