Lifestyle In Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer is one of the very few cities in India that has successfully held on to its roots to quite an extent despite the extensive influence of the western culture on the rest of the country. Though it would be wrong to say Jaisalmer is completely traditional in every way, it is true that the city’s tradition is its identity. However, the changing times has cast a huge influence on the lifestyles of Jaisalmer’s people that is very evident with more and more gyms, fitness centers and spas making a big place across the city.

Another important aspect that cannot be ruled out here is the influx of thousands of tourists in Jaisalmer every year with a variety of cultural backgrounds and lifestyles. Since Jaisalmer is primarily a tourist destination with a majority of its revenue coming in from tourism, the city has adopted much of the western culture to cater to the needs of different kinds of people from around the globe.

Modern lifestyle of Jaisalmer

On the other hand, people living in the city have become more modernized due to the obvious influence of the western culture and also to live up to the expectations of the different kinds of tourists coming to Jaisalmer year-round. Most of the younger generations of the Maharajas have been educated abroad who have carried back the western culture with them. With a majority of the havelis and palaces inside the fort converted into high-end luxury hotels and restaurants operated by the royal family decedents, these hotels exuberate a mix of traditional and modern lifestyles.
