Gadisar Lake
Published on June 17, 2025
Nestled in the arid heart of the Thar Desert, Gadisar Lake offers a mesmerizing oasis of serenity—a refreshing escape from golden sands and ancient fortresses. Built in the 14th century by Rawal Gadsi Singh, this man-made reservoir once provided vital water for Jaisalmer’s residents and travelers. Today, against the dramatic backdrop of sandstone temples, ghats, and arches, it remains a hub of beauty, culture, and peace—perfectly included in your Jaisalmer tour package from Delhi with TourMyHoliday.
Why Gadisar Lake is a Must-Visit
– Spiritual Calm by the Water
Walk down the sandstone ghats where pilgrims gather to offer prayers, and hear temple bells echo across the water—a gentle welcome into Rajasthan’s deeper rhythms.
– Scenic Boat Ride at Sunset
Glide across glassy waters as the sun bathes ancient temples in hues of orange and pink. These calm moments are a serene contrast to the thrill of Jaisalmer desert safari or an adventurous Jaisalmer camel safari.
– Architectural Gems
Adorned with ornate chhatris, ornate shrines, and marble pavilions, the lakeside skyline is a photographer’s delight. Don’t miss the carved embankments and historic shrines dedicated to Hindu and Jain deities.
– Birdwatcher’s Refuge
Thanks to its shallow water and abundant vegetation, Gadisar is a seasonal home for migratory birds—dabchicks, geese, and more. Binoculars and a patient heart will reward you.
