Getting lost in the narrow winding streets of Jaisalmer is both easy and enjoyable,
though the town is so small that it never takes long to find a familiar landmark. Main
roads lead around the base of the fort from the central market square, Gopa Chowk , east
to Gadi Sagar Tank , and west to Gandhi Chowk . Within the fort the streets are narrower
still, but orientation is simple: head west from the main chowk and Maharawal's Palace
to reach the Jain temples and hotels nestled within the walls. Along the way, expect
your progress to be blocked at regular intervals by Jaisalmer's imperious stray cows,
some of which are almost as wide as the lanes they inhabit. Finally, for optimum views ,
head for "Sunset Point" north of the main bazaar area, which overlooks the
town. As the name of this far western end of the Trikuta ridge implies, the panorama is
most impressive around sunset time. Alternatively, try the rooftop of the Paradise Hotel
, where you can watch the sun slipping over the desert horizon accompanied by live folk
music.
