3 Most Haunted Places In Jaisalmer That'll Scare The Beejeezus Outta You

Gather ‘round the campfire, we’ve got some ghost stories for you! From old curses to witches of the desert, Jaisalmer has a lot of frightening lore. If you're someone who’s always fascinated by the unnatural and the occult, you need to give these scary locations a visit tonight!

1. Khaba Fort

The Khaba Fort is a small fort standing over a ruined settlement. Partly reconstructed by the ASI, this site still has an unsettling vibe of desolation. Once filled with people, the Khaba Fort is now mostly home to peacocks and other birds. Though there is a village nearby and even a collection of fossils on display, you can’t shake off the feeling of an eerie silence. Whether it’s because of the remote location, or something more sinister, we can’t say.

2. Kuldhara

Kuldhara was the home of a prosperous community of Paliwal Brahmans since the 13th century. Located about 18 km from present day Jaisalmer, this township was built around a temple of a devi or mother goddess. About 200 years ago, the inhabitants abandoned Kuldhara almost overnight. The legend goes that Salim Singh, the minister from Jaisalmer, fancied a girl from Kuldhara. Reluctant to accept this proposal and unable to refuse, the townspeople left in the dead of the night, cursing the ruler and anyone who tried to live in their town again. One look at the collapsed roofs, narrow abandoned lanes and crumbling memorial stones is enough to convince us!
