Visit of Thar desert And King Akbar Birth Place


On 6th March 2011, I went With my Father to attend a marriage of his friend in a little small village of Desert Thar which was just few kilometer away from india border.
And also Visited the place, King Akbar ( Third Mughal Emperor) Castle , where he was Born. It was Really a awesome Visit

That was really a great trip with Father and 2 cousins.
like watched historical places and the world famous Desert Thar.
But some facts of thar peoples life were Astonishing .
Each village is far away from other one. No basic facility of life ,
all the day they looks in search of water from for away water wells,
or they store Rain water for daily usage. But people of Thar are
simple, lovely and have Golden Heart !
