The Jaisalmer fort is one of the most magnificent buildings in the world, a small walled town on a cliff towering over the city of Jaisalmer in the middle of the Thar Desert. I came to Jaisalmer when there was only a single line railway. The train filled up with local musicians on the way, getting on and off at stations. A wonderful dusty place.

IT IS GREAT STAYING THERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAZS AND IT IS EASZ TO IMAGINE THAT SOME YEARS AGO IT WAS AN IMPORTANT TRADING ISLAND IN THE DESERT BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN BEFORE THEY CLOSED THE BORDERS. I ENJOYED IT MOST IN RAJASTHAN CAMEL TRIP INTO THE DESERT WITH OVERNIGHT STAY--VERY COOL
