and warmth prevail over the inhospitable and forbidding terrain, imbuing
the medieval town with a special magic.

the narrow lanes dotted with famous 'havelis'.
Havelis: Some of the most exotic mansions or 'havelis', all intricately
latticed, are stretched all over Jaisalmer, each with a different facade

shrines around. The lake is an idyllic spot for outings.
