Jaisalmer Fort front entrance - visited the fort hilltop twice (once in evening by auto-rickshaw & a second visit by rented bike) ! So both of us had seen this mighty hill fort at our own leisure by day & night, fully satisfied in our 1st visit to Jaisalmer, a dream fulfilled ever since I made my 1st visit to Incredible India in July 2007 !
