of the cities of western Rajasthan are,
it houses the remains of an old fort
called Garh right on its peak. The name
Barmer is derived from the ruler Bahada

founded the town in the 13th century.
Initially called ‘Bahada-mer’ it was
later shortened to Barmer.
Desert National Park: The
Desert National Park is an excellent
example of the ecosystem of the Thar
Desert and its rich fauna. The Sudashri
forest post is the most ideal place for
observing wildlife in the Desert
National Park. Sand dunes form less than
20 percent of the Park, which consists
of craggy rocks, pavements and compact
salt lake bottoms, intermedial areas and
fixed dunes.
