Garh Jaisal Haveli

Jaisalmer fort

Seven rooms inside the living fort at Jaisalmer.

The place

Inside the walls of the fort itself — one of the few forts in the world people still live in — run by a family who do. Seven rooms, a roof terrace over the desert, and the whole town below at your feet in the evening. Simple, and irreplaceable for the position.
