Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers.
Like a sandcastle in the Thar desert, the old and decaying fort of Jaisalmer still stands proud over its people. Rightfully nicknamed the 'golden city', this desert outpost is within 30 km of the India/Pakistan border. Over the centuries this fort has seen many battles as the Hindi kingdoms to the east fought to secure this important city from Islamic threat from Pakistan and the Persian areas.
Jaisalmer is hot and muggy city. From the hours of 11AM to 4PM very little can be done. The heat rises to 110-115 degrees and most people run for cover. Evidence of India's strained infrastructure is very present here. Electricity is interrupted daily and most establishments are forced to have generators as a result. This is true in most Indian cities. It's not easy to find a cool spot around midday when the electricity goes out. This breezy hill, pictured here provides some relief from the heat. The 'golden city' becomes a fairy tale city around sunset capturing the sun's golden rays.
