You step off the air-conditioned car into a wash of warm, dry air; the city’s yellow sandstone seems to drink the sun and push it back as a soft gold. Trikuta Hill rises ahead with the Jaisalmer Fort perched on top—its ramparts, built from local sandstone, throw long shadows that move with the heat of the day.

History
Jaisalmer Fort was founded in the 12th century by Rawal Jaisal and served as a trade and strategic hub on caravan routes across the Thar.
Conservation
Visitor pressure and sand erosion are managed locally by limiting group sizes and encouraging responsible behaviour; avoid disturbing fragile dune vegetation and take all trash with you.

Hydrate before and during the tour
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person—desert heat and walking dehydrate quickly.
Protect against sun and dust
Wide-brim hat, sunscreen SPF 30+ and a lightweight scarf will reduce sun exposure and keep sand out of your face.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Sandy streets and uneven fort steps need good traction and foot protection—avoid open sandals for walking sections.
Carry small local currency
Bring cash for entrance fees, tips, and purchases at havelis or craft stalls where cards may not be accepted.
