Self-drive · Gadisar Lake & Hanuman Circle, Jaisalmer
Self-Drive Car Rental in Gadisar Lake & Hanuman Circle, Jaisalmer
Gadisar Lake is Jaisalmer's serene man-made reservoir on the south side of the old city, entered through the beautifully carved yellow-sandstone Tilon-Ki-Pol archway and ringed by little shrines and ghats. Nearby Hanuman Circle, on Gadisar Road, is a key junction tying the lake area to the fort, the bazaars and the wider city. This pocket is quieter and more residential than the fort core, while still being a short walk from all the main sights of the Golden City.
