About Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer rises out of the Thar Desert like a mirage — a golden sandstone city with ancient havelis, a magnificent fort, and the endless dunes of Sam Desert outside.

Local Tips

Best time: October to March. Avoid May-June (temperatures above 45°C)

Desert camping is the highlight — book in advance, prices vary widely

Stay inside the fort for one night — a unique experience, book early

Camel ride is touristy but still worth doing once — negotiate price

Night sky in the desert is extraordinary — carry a stargazing app
