Per PersonThe best time to visit Gadsisar Sagar Lake is in the pleasant and cool weather from the month of October to March. The summers in Jaisalmer can be scorching, with temperatures soaring to over 40 degrees Celsius. Monsoon season, from July to September, is also not the best time to visit since the roads can become flooded and inaccessible.
Jaisalmer is a city dripping with history and culture, and one of its most fascinating attractions is Gadsisar Sagar Lake. This man-made lake was created in the 14th century as a water conservation tank, and today it serves as a peaceful oasis in the midst of the Thar Desert. Its serene waters, beautiful architecture, and rich history make it one of Jaisalmer’s most popular tourist attractions.
History of Gadsisar Sagar Lake

- Over the years, various rulers have made additions to the lake, including temples, ghats, and cenotaphs.
Highlights of the Tour
