When Three Days Were Not Enough For Us - Jaisalmer(Final Part)

In the first and second part of my blog, I have shared my experience of Day 1 and 2 in which we explored Amar Sagar Jain temple,  Kuldhara, Sam sand dunes, War Museum, Gadisar Lake, Patwaon Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ji ki Haveli. The final day of our journey was also dedicated to the exploration of the city. Due to time constraint, we were unable to see sites of Laungewala(border of India and Pakistan) and Tanot Mata temple. We had Jaisalmer Fort and Salim Singh ki Haveli kept for our last outing for the awesome journey. And as goes without saying shopping was in our itinerary for the last end of our journey.

Kalka-Shimla Railways : A UNESCO Heritage Site

The train journey from Kalka to India’s erstwhile summer capital Shimla, early in the morning is one of the best things happen to me in the hills of India. It was the month of December, when the cloud of fog has all but engulfed the hills around. One has to experience this journey while going to Shimla! It is simply amazing! The journey is around 5 - 6 hours.  In between you get to see many breathtaking views which includes valleys, hills. If you take the train which starts at 5:30 AM or before sunrise you may get to see the sun rising behind the valley.

Jaisalmer, a planned trip in the final semester of MA, with best friends will always be a memorable trip. The crazy time spent with five friends will be cherished in the Campus.

Kuldhara : The Abandoned And Cursed Village Of Jaisalmer

Kuldhara is an abandoned village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. Established around 13th century, it was once a prosperous village inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins. It was abandoned by the early 19th century for unknown reasons, possibly because of dwindling water supply, or as a local legend claims, because of persecution by the Jaisalmer State's minister Salim Singh.
