Avoid staying inside the fort in Homestay or hotels if you are claustrophobic, not used to bad smells or are expecting above average hospitality. Being a living fort its full of people and has very narrow pathways, being an old structure its not possible to upgrade its facilities.
Well to see the fort from inside, an individual will have to pay Rs 200 per person. Rest part of the fort is already captured by Hotel industry.
If u wanna see how Kings n queens of Rajasthan made heaven in desert, visit and see from your own eyes. The city is surrounded near fort but the beauty will attract your eyes as u reach Jaisalmer.
If was 6 30 am when I reached Jaisalmer and I was really lucky to get the sunrise view, I ll upload Some pics. Imagine how kings ordered the architecture to be made to the local engineers and builder years back.
One more attractive thing is the color of the walls, the entire city is made by the same stones which were used at the time of building the fort.
I was amazed and felt like this Is an another world located here.
Do visit the fort and if u are in budget do look from inside too.
In this fort many people living
If walking in this fort you may feel like you are walking in the street of Varanasi.
In this fort has many good roof top restaurants, hotels, handcraft shops etc.
You may see Sun ⛅rise and sun set from here.
And must visit king palace, which is situated in the fort
If you want to see and take pics just go without guide and see everything by your own.
It's more of local shopping as around 4000 population stays on fort there shops are all the corners.
One advice to readers : no need for a guide as he wont even give full information, better to read online about it and then visit it. It has multiple sub buildings and they aren't worth your time. Just have a look at the main king's building and roam the streets!
Advice to management: try to improve the cleanliness in the streets
