Fodor's Expert Review Gadsisar Lake
Jaisalmer and Environs
Built in the 12th century, this freshwater lake surrounded by numerous golden-hue shrines is frequented by a spectacular and diverse avian community. Entry is through the impressive two-story Tilon ki Ol Gateway. Plan for a picnic and perhaps a short paddleboat excursion on a cool afternoon when the town is not overrun with local tourists including families and children, and bring some bread to feed the catfish.
