Built in 1156 AD, the Jaisalmer Fort has the distinction of being the second oldest fort in Rajasthan after Chittorgarh. Perched atop the Trikuta Hill in Jaisalmer, this grand fort is the proud reminder of a glorious era in Rajasthan's history. Also known as 'Sonar Quila' (Golden Fort) the Jaisalmer Fort is a sight to behold when the rays of the setting sun bathes it in a golden hue. In fact, the effect is so beautiful that visitors are left spell bounded.
