Jaisalmer The "Thharkka (Prestige)
Hi! Welcome to my place which is a west-facing small house located inside the Jaisalmer Fort. This property is more than 250 years old located inside an 850 year old UNESCO World Heritage Site. The breath-taking view from here is that of the Jaisalmer City and at night, the breeze will relax you. Here, you can rejuvenate and be away from the hustle-bustle of the daily life by being one with the city's heritage! Once here, you'll have a memorable stay & an amazing Airbnb experience! The Place: This 18th century house where you will be living during your stay was built more than 250 years ago but I renovated it around 25 years back to keep it abreast with modern amenities. The place boasts of a big balcony with a swing looking over the city, a courtyard which leads you to the room and a rooftop to enjoy the expansive view of the Jaisalmer city below. There is a dining hall for where I can serve you delicious delicacies while you watch the Jain temple right from its windows. The place is not only serene but also has an amazing aesthetic feel to it. You can Sit, Relax & Soak in the environment while watching the Sunset from the rooftop or from the swing in the balcony. The Room: The room being shown here is one of our special rooms and is called the “Maharaani Room”. The bed here is situated on a Stone Table and a climb of 4 steps reaches you to the bed. Right from there, you can look across the city from the window behind and also the Sun setting beyond the horizon. Also, keep in mind that this room is on the 2nd floor and it is accessible through a staircase. Not only the room has a breath-taking view but also a great place for you to sit by, relax, enjoy or even just soak in the beauty right from the comfort of your own room. The mattress is quite comfortable and is of queen size and can easily accommodate 2 people. A stay here will not only rejuvenate you but also enthrall you with the sheer beauty of the city.
