Golden Fort – The Living Fort of Jaisalmer
Overview: Welcome to Golden Fort, also known as Sonar Quila, a breathtaking sandstone marvel that rises from the Thar Desert like a golden mirage. Built in 1156 AD by Raja Rawal Jaisal, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the few “living forts” in the world, with thousands of people still residing within its ancient walls.
The fort's walls shimmer like gold during sunrise and sunset, giving it the name “Sonar Quila.” With its narrow winding lanes, historic Jain temples, bustling bazars, and ornate havelis, Golden Fort offers a unique blend of history, culture, and everyday life. As you explore the fort's four grand gateways, walk atop its ramparts, and admire Rajput architecture, you’ll be transported to an era of royalty and desert legends.
This fort isn’t just a monument — it’s a complete experience of living heritage.
