Jaisalmer Fort, also known as Sonar Quila or the Golden Fort, is one of the most magnificent forts in Rajasthan. Built in 1156 AD by Raja Jaisal, this massive sandstone structure glows beautifully under the sun, giving it a golden hue. Unlike most forts, Jaisalmer Fort is still a living fort — home to shops, temples, restaurants, and houses within its walls. The fort’s narrow lanes, exquisite Rajput architecture, and panoramic views of the golden city make it a must-visit attraction for travelers exploring Rajasthan’s desert heritage.
