Jaisalmer, known as the "Golden City" of Rajasthan, showcases the essence of natural beauty with its extensive stretches of captivating desert sands, alluring sand dunes, a serene oasis lake, and an ever-fascinating landscape. Venturing into the mesmerising Thar Desert, one can witness the breathtaking sunrise and sunset over the undulating dunes. The desert's remarkable ecosystem is home to a national park, housing exotic wildlife, including the great Indian bustard and the blackbuck. For respite from the desert's warmth, Gadsisar Lake beckons as a tranquil oasis nestled in the city's heart, where one can partake in a serene boat ride and revel in the captivating allure of its waters.
