20 DAYS IN INDIA - Jaisalmer
After just one night in Delhi my son Matt and I flew to Jaisalmer the ”Golden City” of the Indian state of Rajasthan in the north east of the country, a desert region. The city stands on a ridge of yellow sandstone on which is the ancient Jaisalmer Fort. The fort contains a royal palace and several ornate Jain temples. Many of the houses and temples are built of finely sculptured sandstone. The city lies in the heart of the Thar Desert (the Great Indian Desert) and has a population of about 78,000.
