Boats, birds and peace await. Gadisar Lake, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

Long ago, in the heart of the desert, King Rawal Jaisal, the founder of Jaisalmer, envisioned a lifeline for his city. In 1156 CE, he built an artificial lake to meet the water needs of the city's inhabitants. Thus, came into being the Gadsisar Rainwater Lake, originally named Jaisalasar Lake after its creator, Rawal Jaisal. In the 14th century, Maharawal Gadsi Singh rebuilt the lake, and it was renamed in his honour—marking a new chapter in its enduring legacy.

Located just 1.5 kilometres from Jaisalmer Fort, this lake became the city's water source for generations. Today, fed by the Indira Gandhi Canal, the waters of this historic lake flow endlessly, ensuring it never dries and continuing to sustain the legacy of those who dreamed of a thriving oasis. The lake is surrounded by small temples and chattris—cenotaphs dedicated to the region's most revered figures. A boat ride offers an intimate view of these ancient structures. As evening falls, the lake becomes a canvas for the setting sun, with golden hues shimmering across the water, creating a magical, unforgettable atmosphere.
