jaisalmer-barmer

Full of bright colors, rich treasures, and warm hospitality, Barmer represents the true cultural beauty of Rajasthan. Part of the Thar Desert, it shares borders with Pakistan in the west and Jaisalmer and Jalore in the north and south, respectively. The 13th-century historic town is based on the vibrant landscapes reflected in its colorful houses, adorned with traditional paintings, and lively people. Barmer is also home to the amazing Barmer Fort and many ancient temples. A visit to Barmer is even more enjoyable if you become part of the Barmer festival in March. The third largest district in Rajasthan, Barmer is also home to a newly discovered large oil field. Adding to the beauty, however, are the camel-like landscapes of the desert, as well as the craftsmen who are busy displaying their rich handicrafts such as pottery, weaving, wood carving, dance, and music. Despite the bad weather and the barren landscape, the area is a magnet for tourists from all over the world because of its art, culture, and color! Jaisalmer is known as the 'City of Gold' because of its sand. The Thar Desert in Jaisalmer plays an important role in tourism. Not only do travelers have to reach the Indian Ocean but they also experience desertification, camel caravans, dunes, and desert life!
