Popular Jaisalmer Package Options

The right Jaisalmer itinerary depends on how much time you have and whether the desert is the main reason for your trip.

Short Jaisalmer City Break

A short trip can focus on the main attractions within and around the city.

The itinerary can include:

• Jaisalmer Fort
• Jain Temples
• Patwon Ki Haveli
• Nathmal Ki Haveli
• Gadisar Lake
• Local markets

This option works well when you want to experience Jaisalmer's architecture and old-city atmosphere without adding many outside excursions.

Jaisalmer With Desert Camp

If spending a night in the Thar Desert is important to you, the itinerary can include city sightseeing followed by a stay near Sam or Khuri.

You can plan time for a camel ride or jeep safari, sunset views, local folk performances and dinner at the camp. The exact activities depend on the selected camp and package.

Jaisalmer Heritage & Desert Holiday

This option combines the city's historic attractions with a desert experience. You can spend the first part of the trip exploring the fort and havelis before heading towards the dunes.

It suits travellers who want a mix of history, local culture and outdoor experiences rather than focusing only on sightseeing.

Customized Jaisalmer Itinerary

If you have specific travel dates, hotel preferences or places you want to visit, a customized itinerary can be planned around those requirements.

Share your dates, group size, preferred hotel category and the experiences you want to include. The itinerary can then be adjusted to suit your available time and travel preferences.

Places to Include in a Jaisalmer Tour

Jaisalmer Fort

Jaisalmer Fort is the centre of the city's historic area and is still home to residents, shops, temples and traditional houses. Its yellow sandstone walls give the fort its famous golden appearance.

Planning tip: Allow enough time to walk through the fort rather than treating it as a quick photo stop. The narrow lanes and viewpoints are an important part of the experience.

Patwon Ki Haveli

Patwon Ki Haveli is one of the best-known heritage buildings in the old city. Its detailed stonework, balconies and carved windows show the craftsmanship used in Jaisalmer's traditional architecture.

Best suited to: Travellers interested in architecture, history and photography.

Gadisar Lake

Gadisar Lake offers a quieter setting away from the busy old-city lanes. The lake is surrounded by temples, small shrines and carved structures.

Planning tip: Morning and evening are more comfortable times to visit, particularly during warmer months.

Bada Bagh

Bada Bagh is known for its collection of royal cenotaphs outside Jaisalmer. The sandstone structures create a striking contrast with the surrounding desert landscape.

Planning tip: Consider visiting later in the day when the light is softer and the sandstone structures are easier to photograph.

Kuldhara

Kuldhara is an abandoned village located outside Jaisalmer and is associated with several local stories about its sudden desertion. The remaining stone houses and empty lanes provide a glimpse into the area's past.

Best suited to: Travellers who enjoy heritage sites, local history and less conventional sightseeing.

Sam Sand Dunes

Sam is one of the most popular areas for experiencing the Thar Desert near Jaisalmer. Depending on your package, you can plan a camel ride, jeep safari, sunset visit or overnight camp.

Planning tip: If you want a desert camp, keep the evening free instead of scheduling city sightseeing too late in the day.

Jain Temples in Jaisalmer Fort

The Jain temples inside the fort are known for their detailed sandstone carvings and traditional design. They can be included while exploring the fort area.

Visitors should follow the temple's current entry rules and dress respectfully.

Things to Do on a Jaisalmer Trip

Explore Jaisalmer Fort on Foot

Walk through the fort's lanes and explore its temples, shops, old homes and viewpoints. Taking your time here gives you a better sense of how the historic part of Jaisalmer still functions as a living neighbourhood.

Spend an Evening in the Thar Desert

Head towards the dunes in the afternoon and plan your desert activities around sunset. A camel ride or jeep safari can be followed by dinner and cultural performances at a desert camp.

Stay Overnight at a Desert Camp

An overnight stay gives you more time to experience the desert after the daytime sightseeing ends. Depending on the property, your evening may include folk music, local food and time around a campfire.

Visit Jaisalmer's Old Havelis

Explore Patwon Ki Haveli and other traditional mansions to see the carved stone balconies, windows and facades that are characteristic of the city.

Spend Some Quiet Time at Gadisar Lake

Gadisar Lake can be a simple break between sightseeing stops. Walk around the lake, see its historic structures and enjoy the changing light in the evening.

Try Local Rajasthani Food

Jaisalmer is a good place to try dishes such as dal baati churma, ker sangri, gatte ki sabzi and pyaaz kachori. Rooftop restaurants around the old city also offer views of the illuminated fort.

Shop for Local Handicrafts

Markets around Jaisalmer offer items such as leather products, embroidered footwear, textiles, jewellery, puppets and other Rajasthani handicrafts. Compare quality and prices before making larger purchases.
