This architectural masterpiece is a perfect example of a mix of Rajput art and Mughal influence, which gives us an idea of the luxurious life of wealthy life of Jaisalmer in the past.

Sam Sand Dunes:- 04:30 PM - 07:30 PM
On the way to Sam Sand Dunes the urban environment is replaced by the enormous Thar Desert with its gold-colored dunes.
