The golden desert fort city
A honey-coloured sandstone citadel rising from the Thar Desert — one of the world's few living forts, ornate merchant havelis, and camel safaris under the stars.
Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Walk the fort; jeeps and camels for the dunes.
Do an overnight camel safari to sleep on the dunes under a blaze of stars.
Generally safe for tourists; use registered transport, dress modestly at temples, and drink bottled water.
Desert camps with folk music and dance.
