Through the Gates of Gold


The entrance to Jaisalmer Fort is a journey through history and architectural splendour. Approaching the fort, you’ll wind your way up Trikuta Hill and pass through a series of four grand sandstone gates-Akhai Pol, Ganesh Pol, Suraj Pol, and Hawa Pol-each designed in a zig-zag to thwart invaders and adorned with intricate carvings. These gateways open into Dashera Chowk, the fort’s bustling main square, where the atmosphere is alive with the sounds of traders, temple bells, and local life.
Built in 1156 and towering 250 feet above the desert, the fort’s golden walls and 99 bastions are a striking sight, especially at sunset when they seem to glow. Inside, you’ll find a maze of narrow lanes lined with Jain temples, palaces, havelis, shops, and cafés-this is still a living fort, home to thousands of residents. As you explore, be sure to climb up to the ramparts, where old cannons still stand guard, offering panoramic views over the city and the endless Thar Desert beyond.
