Gadisar Lake is one of the most important
tourist attractions in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, North India. Its
charm lies in the fact that it was the only source of water for
the Jaisalmer city in the olden days.
A manmade reservoir, the Gadisar Lake in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
was constructed by Raja Rawal Jaisal, the first ruler of
Jaisalmer.
Artistically carved Chattris, Temples, Shrines and Ghats
surround the banks of Gadisar Lake Jaisalmer. Located towards
the south of Jaisalmer city the entrance to the Gadisar Lake or
Garsisar Tank is through a magnificent and artistically carved
yellow sandstone archway that is known as the Tilon-Ki-Pol.
See rare migratory birds that stop for a drink at the lustrous
Gadisar Lake that reflects the mellow yellow of the picturesque
sandstone banks; enjoy a boat ride on the lake or just sit on
any of the Ghats and see the yellow sandstone banks change hues
of ochre with the setting sun, a delightful panorama that you
would not miss for the world.
The view of the Jaisalmer Fort from the Gadisar Lake is
breathtaking.
