A guest house in Jaisalmer can also provide a room for freshening up before the tour starts. • Visit an abandoned village and a natural oasis, which serve as vital water sources for local residents, farmers, and animals. The village was founded in 1291 by the Paliwal Brahmins, who thrived in the area through agriculture until, in 1825, the entire population of Kuldhara and 83 surrounding villages vanished overnight. • Khaba Fort, dating back to the 13th century, was once integral to Kuldhara, a settlement of Paliwal Brahmins.
