What people are saying

Nov 2019

We wanted a quiet morning and we thoroughly enjoyed the couple of hours we spent on the edge of the lake. We drank coffee, listened to authentic live music, did a bit of shopping , and took photos . We went back to our hotel rested and revived.

Amar Sagar is a small and beautiful lake cum Oasis and is next to a 17th Century palace called the Amar Singh Palace. Maharawal Akhai Singh built this palace in honor of one of his predecessors Amar Singh. Next to the palace are pavilions with a large stairs leading down to the Amar Sagar Lake. This haveli has been constructed in the pattern of apartments. The Amar Sagar is a five story high haveli and is famous for its murals. Wherever you go in this haveli, you will notice beautiful murals painted. There are many of wells and ponds in the surrounding which have a royal air about them. There is an old Shiva temple in the complex itself. Amar Singh built this because he was supposed to be an ardent follower of Lord Shiva, a Hindu God related to destruction. Lake offers a boating service that you can take you on a boat tour. Must-Visit.

Perfect for a sunset boat ride

Oct 2012 • Friends

When in Jaisalmer, do visit this lake in the evening before the sunset. Rent a boat for an hour, and enjoy the sunset view and reflection in the water, its calm and beautiful. You can carry some munchies or some drinks along but please be mature enough to be discreet about it since locals will object.

Not worth to spend time

Feb 2019

The place is not clean and not maintained, as people come here for photography if you want can do that. But apart from that, there is nothing to check out here. As there is boat riding but the water is not clean.

Clean lake for booting

Jan 2018 • Friends

A Clean lake for booting. There are many things to explore in and around jaisalmer. It is located around 5-6 km far from Jaisalmer city. One travelling by car from Jodhpur will cross this place before entering Jaisalmer city.

Beautiful jain temple, exquisite architecture, dry and poorly maintained lake

Jul 2014 • Couples

We were going to Desert camp and we visited this temple on the way. This temple has very beautiful architecture and carvings. It is situated on the banks of a lake. The lake is not very scenic as it does not have much water and the place is not very clean. But, we tend to forget everything once we are in the temple. It is that beautiful. A good place to visit in the outskirts of Jaisalmer.

The lake was all dried out when I visited in August. The Jain temple was however peaceful and un-touristed. 100 rupee charge for foreigners.

Nice place

Mar 2013 • Family

There is a famous Jain Temple at this place with the lake which is almost empty throughout the season. The temple is a good place to see as it is made up of Jaisalmeri stones with a lot of ework done by hand on it.
