After going around the fort in Jaisalmer we set our eyes in other monuments of the city. The city is not only famous for the Golden Fort, but also the haveli's that are built by wealthy merchants of that time, Some of the prominent havelis are:Patwon-ki-Haveli
This haveli was built between 1800 and 1860, by five Jain brothers who made their fortunes by trading jewelery and fine brocades.
Nathmalji-ki-Haveli
This late 19th century haveli was also used as a prime minister's house and has a superb exterior.
That is my family
This is one of the favourite spot to click snaps.
Next we moved ahead to see other attractions of the city.

P.S: December is the month when lot of tourists land in Rajasthan. So if you really want all the arrangements to be done properly this has to be done before October end.
