Hello, Can anyone tell me where to get the audio guide for Jaisalmer fort ? Is it avalable at the time of purchasing the ticket to the fort ? Also please let me know if the tickets and audio guides are available to buy online.
A:
Hi, yes there is audio guide available there. We opted for it while buying the tickets. However, the human guides are very good here as well as at the Chittorgarh fort.

From the 1st gate to the main square inside the fort is 200 metres (220 yards) with a moderate grade. On a scale of 1 to 10 with dead flat being 1 and a sheer cliff being 10, I'd say the walk would be a 4. The cobble stones however are uneven and can be slippery when wet, so comfortable shoes are preferable to thongs (flip flops).You also need to keep to one side as locals on motorbikes and tuk tuks buzz up and down at speed. If you take a tuk tuk up to the fort you will be charged 50 rupee (locals are charged 10). Just before the last gate there's a great little cafe where you can catch your breath and enjoy a nice pastry before passing through the last gate into the fort. Have a great trip.
