It is one of the world\u2019s most prominent forts and is also called the Golden Fort because of its sizeable yellow sandstone walls, which are vivid yellow during daylight hours and soften to honey-gold at dusk. This arid beauty, perched atop Trikuta Hill in the enormous Thar Desert\u2019s sandy expanses, has seen many wars.<\/p><p>Jaisalmer, also known as the Golden City, is a cultural melting pot of nomadic desert and royalty that gives a one-of-a-kind experience.
