One
of
the
best
places
to
visit
during
your
trip
to
Jaisalmer,
especially
if
you
have
young
children
in
your
group.
Location:
The
museum
is
right
on
the
Jodhpur
highway
about
10-15
km
away
from
Jaisalmer.
So,
you
might
want
to
plan
visiting
this
on
your
last
day
in
Jaisalmer
(on
your
way
back
to
Jodhpur
if
that's
your
itinerary)
Entry
fee
and
the
overall
experience:
Though
the
entry
is
INR
55
,
I
strongly
recommend
engaging
the
services
of
an
official
tour
guide
-
overall
tour
takes
about
60
minutes.
Our
tour
started
with
the
guide
explaining
the
history
of
Indian
Army
(dates
back
to
as
early
as
300
BC
under
the
Maurya
dynasty
and
then
the
Indian
Army
under
the
British
and
so
on);
the
tour
then
goes
over
the
exhibits
of
important
wars
fought
by
India
post
independence
including
the
displays
of
tanks,
war
machinery,
artillery
etc.
Our
tour
ended
with
a
video
that
showcased
war
heroes
and
stories
of
war.
In
summary,
this
is
The
Jaisalmer
War
Museum
was
an
essential
stop
for
us
on
way
to
our
stay
in
Jaisalmer.
From
Bikaner,
this
spot
is
on
the
way
right
outside
the
main
city.
Something
noteworthy
is
that
the
highways
and
main
roads
are
simply
amazing
and
it
is
a
pleasure
to
drive
if
one
is
a
road
trip
enthusiast!
The
War
Museum
is
located
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city
and
is
a
secure
army
zone.
The
museum
houses
important
details
about
India's
wars,
mainly
about
the
Longewala
Battle.
There
are
recreated
models
of
captured
war
vehicles,
arms,
and
ammunition.
We
were
lucky
to
be
there
at
a
time
when
the
museum
closed
but
the
sound
and
light
show
began.
The
show
is
a
reverberating
reminder
to
all
Indians
about
the
fierce
battle
fought
by
our
warriors
at
Longewala
and
it
is
a
must
for
every
Indian.
This
experience,
in
a
way
set
the
tone
for
our
onward
journey.
