Sorry I haven't blogged in a while...been procrastinating just a tad bit...a couple of weekends ago we found out that some of the other interns are interested in going to Jaisalmer as well so we got our group together. Before we knew it we had a bus full of 14 people...Yeay! We left early Saturday morning and travelled straight to Jaisalmer...We first went to a lake called Amar Sagar, sadly as expected it was drying out! After that we travelled to a place called Bada Bagh which held the memorials of several Maharaja's (kings) of Jaisalmer. It was really cool to see the change in the architecture in the form of sandstone. We then travelled to a abandoned village of Kuldhara. Here we saw the ruins of the once village. Four of us noticed the very top part of temple called the kalash lying on the ground and decided to put it back in its place. We lifted the big carved sandstone rock and lifted all the way up to the very top part of the temple. It was a lot of effort, but was a truly rewarding experience. After our noble deed was done, haha, we decided to continue on. We then went to Sam Sand Dunes where we enjoyed our much awaited camel rides. The camel safari took us 3 kms into the heart of the desert...sand dunes...The group of us thouroughly enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the sunset. After about 3 hours, it was time to head back in where typical Rajasthani cultural dance, music and food awaited us.
The next day we saw Jaisalmer fort from which we could see all of the surrounding city. I personally think it was the best fort we had seen yet. After that it was time to head back to Jodhpur. We did however stop at a temple on our way back.
PS. I forgot to mention: JAISALMER WAS SUPER HOT!
