Gadsisar Lake

  • Address: About 1 km southeast of Jaisalmer's fort, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

Fodor's Review:

Built in the 12th century, this freshwater lake surrounded by numerous golden-hue shrines is frequented by a spectacular and diverse avian community. Plan for a camel ride, a picnic, and perhaps a short paddle-boat excursion. Near the shrines and behind the main bus stand is a charming Folklore Museum, built in the style of a traditional home. Filled with memorabilia, it's the perfect place to ground yourself in local history and culture.

  • Cost: Rs. 2
