About Kuldhara

It is said that the village has a history dating to centuries in the past when several people of the Paliwal Brahmin community resided there. However, the region which is located about 16 km away from the city of Jaisalmer is no longer inhabited and termed a ghost village. The state tourism mentions Kuldhara as a protected monument under the State Archaeology Department which happens to serve as a popular tourist destination. While once the village was home to many families, one can now only see the ruins of Kuldhara while visiting the area. Notably, the spot has paved the way for may documentaries and movies.
