After completing the tour of the Havelis in Jaisalmer we moved ahead to see other attractions that this city has to offer. The city has lot beautiful lake and cenotaphs that are a must watch.
Tazia Tower
The delicate pagoda like Tazia Tower rises from Badal Mahal (Cloud Palace). Rising in its five-tiered splendour.
Gadisar Lake
Gadisar is a man made reservoir in Jaisalmer built in the 1700s. This tank outside the city walls, once held the town's water supply, and, befitting its importance in providing precious water to the inhabitants of this arid city.
The tank was built by Maharaja Gadsi Singh, taking the advantage of a natural declivity that already retained some water.
The main gate that leads to the lake was unknowingly built by prostitutes, and so, noble people never pass under it, but rather use a rather humble step path to the right, under the tree.
Royal Cenotaphs
These monuments are located on Ramgarh Road 6 kms from Jaisalmer. These cenotaphs also known as chattris and were constructed by the various Bhatti rulers.
We next move ahead to desert area to explore Sam Sand Dunes .
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.
