rising out of the heart of the
sprawling, desolate and inhospitable
Thar in an intricately sculptured
yellow sandstone marvel. The camels,
shifting sand dunes, temples, havelis,
bazaars and palaces, the tinkling
anklets of women, the swirl of bright
colourful skirts, proud turbans
and smiling faces, all form a part
of the romantic ambience, which
pervades Jaisalmer.
With people still living in ancient
buildings dating back to the 12th
century, the place transports you
back in time to the past.
Himmatgarh Palace
offers all modern conveniences in
this ancient town. The hotel Himmatgarh
Palace built of the same yellow
sandstone as the fort is a perfect
counterpoint to the desert.
Himmatgarh Palace
is situated just outside the fort,
right opposite Vyas Chhatris (or
the sunset point as it is called)
the hotels provides a breathtaking
view of the entire fort. |
