In the sleepy, little, desert town of Jaisalmer; every other structure looks almost like a replica of the other. At first glance, one might be baffled to find the destination. As my host smoothly drives me through the lanes effortlessly, I try and recall my last visit to the town. Before I could do that, there it is “The Ozaki Jaisalmer”.
With the unique combination of a modern name and traditional sandstone walls adorned with architectural grandeur, this place welcomes you with open hearts. Whether you are a backpacker, solo traveler, out with friends or family – go for it.
Standing tall to welcome – The Ozaki Jaisalmer
The Name
At a place where most names boast of the cultural heritage the town is synonymous with, The Ozaki Jaisalmer stands out uniquely. Honesty, it’s the name which built my curiosity around this place. Apparently, “Ozaki” is a Japanese word and inspires generosity, cheerfulness and persuasion – the best description to fit the bill. This is what exactly “The Ozaki Jaisalmer” stands for.
