Jaisalmer city offers breathtaking views of exquisite forts, splendid sculptures on the houses as well as the temples. The fort of Jaisalmer is a delight to view as it consists of a beautiful palace and several Jain temples. Once a princely state, Jaisalmer is a part of Thar dessert. From wild camels native to the area, leather messenger bags are made in the city and then they are sold all over the country. Apart from the forts, museums are also major points of attraction, and so is the Desert Festival held here for over three days in the month of January or February.
