Kuldhara Village, located about 20 km from Jaisalmer, is one of Rajasthan’s most mysterious and fascinating historical sites. Once a prosperous village of the Paliwal Brahmins, Kuldhara was suddenly abandoned overnight around the 19th century. Legends say the villagers cursed the land before leaving, ensuring no one could settle there again. Today, the ruins of Kuldhara—crumbling houses, narrow lanes, and an eerie silence—draw history enthusiasts and curious travelers. Surrounded by the vast Thar Desert, it offers a haunting yet captivating glimpse into Jaisalmer’s past and is a popular stop on desert tours.
