LOST IN THE SANDS
Desert sands- a landscape that , with the sifting of the dunes alters in degrees but not in king. This circuit is marked by a rustic charm . adorned by glorious forts, palaces, temples and a market place which is a heaven for bargainers, Jodhpur is the first step by a visitor to the glory of the past. Very few cities can boast of the magnificence that surrounds Jaisalmer. The 'Swarna Kila' or the Golden Fort of Jaisalmer seems to rise out of the desert maze, its yellow sandstone walls and bastions taking on a golden view in the afternoon sun. One gets lost in the romantic city of Udaipur where you try your very best to jolt back into reality, but in vains. One feel like returning to these sands only to get lost again.
