Jaisalmer: Gadisar lake

I’ll be honest with you: I’ve seen a few different names for this lake: Gadisar, Gadsisar, Gadisagar and so on..

But what’s in the name! This oasis (only symbolically, it’s actually a water conversation tank, contrary to what you might expect) of greenish blue waters is a welcome break from the craziness of the crowds of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India.

It’s a refreshing change of colours in midst of the vast expanse of desert all around!

 

Temples around the lake

You’ll often see migratory birds enjoying the lake too!

Due to proximity to Bharatpur bird sanctuary, migratory birds also often flock to this lake. So, taking binoculars with you may not be a bad idea!
