The guide was so good, explained so many basics of how brilliantly those buildings were build, what is the architecture and the reasons. Heard that it was the first building built outside the fort at that time, it was just desert area around fort.
Also most of the things are detachable. Indeed a wonder.????

A guide is highly recommended. The best thing is that the guide, who is a resident of the palace, is quite knowledgeable and has a very welcoming nature. Tourists who are passionate about historical architectures would be able to truly appreciate the grandeur of this palace.

Salam Singh Ki Haveli (Moti Mahal) is a worst place to visit. First of all it is situated in a narrow street. Visitors have to left their vehicle in parking area and approach there by on foot. It is located in densely populated market area. When you reach Salam Singh Ki Haveli you have to pay money for ticket (no issue for paying money for ticket) but one very big drawback here is tourist have to wait there for unlimited time period because when minimum 5-6 tourist gathered there then owner of the Haveli will allow to enter the tourist in Haveli. If you want to enter in the Haveli single you will not be allowed to visit in the Haveli.

Salim Singh Ki Haveli was built in 1815 by Salim Singh, the prime minister of the kingdom when Jaisalmer was the capital. This mansion was not created with the help of cements and mortar- the stones are connected with strong iron rods.

This mansion is famous for its distinctive architecture as it is constitutes 38 gracefully carved balconies. The architecture of this mansion is inspired by dancing peacock. One of the most ambitious constructions of its times, the Haveli is so magnificent, that it even invited the ruler's envy during its era.
