A rugged desert town with golden sandstone architecture and one of the world’s very few living forts, Jaisalmer is nothing less than a fairytale. Also known as the Golden Gateway to the enchanting Thar desert. This Golden City of Rajasthan brings you to where you can experience a luxurious camel safari. The Jaisalmer Fort houses a population of more than 4000 people, with narrow lanes lined with shops, hotels, and Havelis (mansions). Beyond the fort walls, the desert stretches into quiet golden dunes, where sunsets are magical with luxury sundowners and a cultural night with folk performances, a traditional dinner, and a royal camp stay. All the major cities of Rajasthan are home to different Kingdoms and their palaces are still standing in royal grandeur. Experience the lifestyle of Kings with your stay in the palaces of India.
When it comes to things to do in Jaisalmer, no experience is complete without venturing into the Sam Sand Dunes — the crown jewel of the Thar desert. Here, the landscape transforms into an endless canvas of rippling gold, best explored on the back of a camel as the sun melts into the horizon. Evenings come alive with the sound of Rajasthani folk music, the warmth of a bonfire, and the sight of a star-studded sky that feels almost too beautiful to be real. Whether you're sipping on a chilled drink atop a dune or settling into a plush luxury tent for the night, this is the kind of magic that stays with you long after the desert dust has settled.

START PLANNINGA royal desert experience in Jaisalmer means luxurious tented stays with Rajasthani decor, thrilling desert safaris (camel/jeep), cultural nights with folk music & dance, and bonfires under starry skies. Count in delicious Rajasthani feasts, and adventure activities like quad biking or hot air ballooning, all set amidst the stunning Thar Desert dunes.
Jaisalmer Fort is the second oldest fort in Rajasthan, and one of the world's few "living forts," with a quarter of the city's population still residing within its massive, honey-colored sandstone walls. It is a vibrant heritage site featuring palaces, temples, bazaars, and homes.
Besides Camel rides, the Thar Desert offers thrilling adventures like dune bashing in 4x4s, quad biking, and experiences like stargazing and desert camping under starry skies. Cultural immersion activities include folk music, traditional food, and exploring historic forts or the Desert National Park for unique wildlife.
The best way to reach Jaisalmer is to take a flight from Delhi, then take a connecting domestic flight to Jodhpur Airport (JDH), followed by a 5-6 hour taxi/bus ride. If train journeys are your thing, consider boarding an overnight train to Jaisalmer directly from Delhi. Flights are faster, while trains are easier on the wallet.
