In the morning around 10:30, after having breakfast, we checked out from the tents.
Our next stop was at Gadisar lake, Jaisalmer. This lake is an artificial lake. The lake is located about 1.5 km from Jaisalmer Fort. It is said that this lake once provided water to the entire city. Presently, the water comes in the Gadisar Lake from Indira Gandhi Canal, so it never dries.

We went boating there, and we also did shopping there in the local market. The local market consisted of kathputli, jewellery, a variety of clothes, mojdis, bags, handicrafts, food items and more.

Next, we headed towards, Jaisalmer fort. It is believed to be one of the very few "living forts" in the world, as nearly one-fourth of the old city's population still resides within the fort. It is also known as the golden city. The entire view of Jaisalmer city is visible from this fort. The fort has many shops within its premises (inside as well as outside).

After exploring the fort we headed back to the hotel, where a DJ part was organized for everyone, we all enjoyed it a lot. Followed by dinner a small cake-cutting ceremony was done to celebrate the success of the whole trip.
