I am briefing abut some of the places-

1-JAISALMER FORT-
Jaisalmer Fort is situated in the city of Jaisalmer, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is believed to be one of the very few (perhaps the only) “living forts” in the world, as nearly one fourth of the old city's population still resides within the fort.For the better part of its 800-year history, the fort was the city of Jaisalmer. The first settlements outside the fort walls, to accommodate the growing population of Jaisalmer, are said to have come up in the 17th century.

Jaisalmer Fort is the second oldest fort in Rajasthan, built in 1156 AD by the Rajput Rawal (ruler) Jaisal from whom it derives its name,and stood at the crossroads of important trade routes (including the ancient Silk road).

2- GADSISAR SAGAR LAKE-
This is a man-made water reservoir, Once the Gadisar Lake was the only source of water in Jaisalmer City. It was constructed by the first ruler of Jaisalmer, "Raja Rawal Jaisal", it is surrounded by temples and ghats (banks). One can spend some peaceful time in the serene surroundings of the lake or choose to go boating as well. Boating and watching calm water in their natural surroundings can be a great experience with everyone at Gadisar Lake.
