About Jaisalmer Darsan

Days in the Fort, Nights on the Dunes

We help travellers plan Jaisalmer as one connected trip: the sandstone lanes of the fort and havelis in the morning, the drive west across the Thar, and an evening at a desert camp in Jaisalmer's Sam Sand Dunes. You tell us your dates and pace; we suggest the camp, the safari and the order that makes the days comfortable.
