People live inside the fort
Jaisalmer Fort, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
Jaisalmer Fort is still lived in, with homes, temples and shops inside its walls. The narrow lanes are someone's front step, and doorways aren't backdrops.
The lesson
Ask before photographing people or homes, and keep the noise down in the lanes.
