About Kuldhara

The deserted villages of Kuldhara are one of the most interesting locations to visit in Jaisalmer. Kuldhara and the surrounding 82 villages were once home to the Paliwal Brahmins, who lived in the arid Thar desert. Tracks, houses, some of which are also two-story, traditional parking areas, and other buildings that are now in ruins compel the spectator to picture them in the past when life still walked the streets. The peasants of all 82 villages are said to have vanished in the night in 1825; however, there is no definite conclusion as to why or where they went, or even how they all managed to vanish in the same night! In India, this is unquestionably a must-see destination.
