Went to Club Mahindra Jaisalmer and I carry the story forward.
Day 3: March 16, 2016
Day 3 early morning was Wednesday and we reached Jaisalmer by Jodhpur Jaisalmer express at 6 AM.
Club Mahindra had arranged vehicle for pickup and it was chargeable.
We reached the Club which was a clean 17kms from the City of Jaisalmer. We had the background of the Jaisalmer Golden fort which was lighted with orange light and looked huge and beautiful from distance.
Immediately we were given a room. Even over phone the Executive from Club Mahindra had told that if rooms are vacant he would allott the room immediately.
Initially we were given a Studio room but our booking was for Hotel Unit which we were allotted subsequently.
Then after finishing daily rituals we took a double meal package which included buffet breakfast and dinner.
Then we enquired with Tao Experiences and they are the travel desk people and they suggested we visit two Jain temples, Kuldhara village and desert evening at Sam Sand Dunes.
We did not have lunch due to heavy breakfast and proceeded as suggested.
After excellent Jain temples and abandoned village we reached Sam Sand Dunes and we reached slightly early at 4 PM.
The evening program was ride on a camel to see sunset, desert entertainment and dinner buffet.
But since we were tired we came back immediately after the camel ride and did not stay for sunset and desert dance program. Our dinner buffet was already fixed at resort. On the way we stopped the car and saw the sunset.
Subsequently after little bit of rest we had dinner and retired for the day. Club Mahindra had arranged their own musical program with Rajasthani artists.
Day 4 : March 17, 2016
On this day we had breakfast a-la-carte because we knew we were going to far off place which was as below:
Tanot Mata Ka Mandir, Longewal and Bara bagh.
We visited Tanot mata ka Mandir and another Mandir also fell on the way. These are the places where legend says that during 1971 war Pakistani forces came but due to Mata miracle they destroyed themselves and could not proceed. Tanot Mata Mandir it is said that 3000 bombs fell on the spot but the Mandir was not harmed in anyway.
The Mandir i.e. the Temple is now maintained by BSF which is the Border Security Force of India.
From there we proceeded to Longewal where 120 Indian soldiers defended against 90 tanks and 120 vehicles and 2000 Pakistani soldiers. The film Border was based on that. The Longewal also has museum and audio visual clip is also shown there.
All the way there was desert but not full desert. It seems from Punjab state water flows in the desert on Indira Gandhi Canal (which we had read about in school) and surprisingly the desert is turning green little by little. BSF also plays a part as they plant trees during their part-time.
After Longewal we went back and had lunch on the way at Ramgadh. Lunch was full vegeterian as was expected in a state like Rajasthan.
Then we went to Bara Bagh which was a monument for Jaisalmer kings. There was a local guide there who told that he would tell the full story which would be surprising and shocking at teh same time for Rs200 but we did not pay and came back to Club Mahindra. Evening program at Club Mahindra was DJ night.
A Club Mahindra Executive also briefed us about new clubs being opened . It seems Club Mahindra has acquired a Finland based company which would give access to 40 plus clubs abroad and India also many more clubs are being opened by Club Mahindra. He also explained us in detail about the benefits of RCI membership.
Then we took another two meal buffet package. Here the buffet was non-veg included and thanks for that. Another two days story is there which I will continue in another post.
