The Golden City of Jaisalmer

Little Rajasthani girl that impressed me with her balancing act. 50 Rp worth it.

Beautifully lit Jaisalmer Fort at night.

Jaisalmer is beautiful, golden city that changed my impression about India. Here, locals are literally living inside the fort where the Maharaja palace is situated. It is dusty, and same as everywhere in India, cows are slowly wandering on the streets, or sometimes too lazy to move.

First day in Jaisalmer, we met Deepak, a coffee shop owner slash Couchsurfer. His cafe is located on the west wall of the fort – has the best sunset view in the whole of Jaisalmer (except the desert). A very honest guy giving out tips on how to get the best camel safari tour operators, guest houses, and everything else you need to know about the city. He makes really good cold coffee too.
