Gadsisar Lake

The beautiful rainwater lake is surrounded by numerous temples and pavillions, and offers magnificent views of Jaisalmer Fort. It was built by Maharawal Gadsi in the 14th century, and used to be the major source of drinking water for the city of Jaisalmer. It attracts water birds in winter and is a popular spot for bird watching, picnics and boating. There’s a lovely gateway called Tillon ki prol near the lake, built by a royal courtesan named Tillon.
