Along with five other ridgetop forts in the Indian state of Rajasthan, Jaisalmer forms the Hill Forts of Rajasthan, a Unesco World Heritage Site.
These spectacular locations include majestic forts situated in Chittorgarh, Jaipur, Jhalawar, Kumbhalgarh and Sawai Madhopur that are indicative of just how powerful the Rajput states once were when they reigned supreme from the 8th to the 18th centuries.
