Jaisalmer

On day 3, the Palace on Wheels goes to Jaisalmer, an old walled city in the desert near the Pakistan border. First we visited a tank (artificial lake) called Gadi Sagar, then explored the city and its fort (which contains a city with houses, shops and palaces), and visited a Jain temple and a haveli (traditional house). After lunch on the train we went for a camel ride across the desert, and later dined under the stars while watching traditional dancing at a 5-star hotel.
