Ramgar

Ramgarh lies north of Jaisalmer in the arid Thar country of western Rajasthan. Sand dunes and stony plains alternate across a landscape of sparse rainfall and thorny vegetation. The area belongs to the desert once ruled from the Bhati stronghold at Jaisalmer, where caravans crossed the sands between Sindh and the markets of northern India. Wells and the knowledge of routes were important to those travelling through this dry country.
