Highlights
  • Jaisalmer - Early in the morning at 9am, you will visit the historic well-preserved Jaisalmer fort, and explore the maze of narrow streets in this open air museum of a city with its ornately decorated havelis of yellow sandstone. The havelis were built by rich merchants at a time when the city was a key stop on the caravan routes from the Middle East. Salim Singh-Ki-Haveli & Patwon-Ki-Haveli are two of these intricate mansions with stone carvings and latticework.

Following this visit, head to Gadisar Lake and then take a break for lunch at a great local restaurant.

In the evening just before sunset, you will travel to Sam Sand Dunes - 45km (28mi) to see the total sandy bushless desert. On this glorious stretch of sweeping sand dunes, you will enjoy a camel ride and be able to take your favorite picture with a lone camel on a desert track with the setting sun in the backdrop.

After a memorable day, you will head back to your hotel in Jaisalmer.

Family engagement party & touring Rajasthan - Great tour of Jaisalmer & desert camp with guide Bhupendra Singh & driver Lilu Singh. We really enjoyed our tour of the fort in town and the camel ride to the dunes in the desert. The accommodations and food at the Exotic Desert Camp were excellent.

Great tour experience! - Had a great time in Jaisalmer thanks to Nikita Holiday Agra. We had a great tour of the fort (with lots of history knowledge being shared) and a good buffet lunch. After some downtime, we rode out into the sand dunes for a camel ride. Highly suggest doing this tour, especially if you're only here a short time!

We had a fabulous tour with Mr... - <p>We had a fabulous tour with Mr Ghanshyam. He was very knowledgeable and had interesting local insights to the city and made the tour very entertaining. His sense of humor and warmth added that extra bit to make the experience exceptional. Going with a local, we were introduced to the little secrets of the city - fantastic makhani, a fabulous silver shop tucked away in a non-descript alley with some of the finest handwork and exquisite pieces of jewellery, a fantastic antique store which was a museum by itself, textiles from a lovely shop inside a massive haveli which we would never have found out walking down the lane .... fabulous walks down narrow lanes opening into squares with no prior indications somewhat like one would find in Europe in cities like Venice, a walk through the narrow lanes inside the fort giving a great view into life in the fort. He also took us to the studio of the last remaining family that does miniature paintings. The gentleman has held over 9 international exhibitions of his works in Australia etc. - worth viewing his works. Thanks to Viator, we got a very intimate view into Jaisalmer and saw places which only locals could help you discover. Very good tour and totally recommended - do ask for Mr. Ghanshyam!</p>

The trip to the dessert was unforgetable. Our guide Mr. Ghanshyam Singh was very knowledgeable about the city and region's history. Overall the tour was above expectation</p>

Jaisalmer and Glamping with camel ride - Rachana Heritage Hotel was excellent and their Safron Restaurant was excellent in food variety, quality and service. It was the best we have had on our trip. Jaisalmer is very laid back compared to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. I'm so glad we visited. Each place is completely different. Remember guides and drivers are not representing you when they take you to shops and restaurants. Shopkeepers tell you everything is fixed price which is never true. Your guide will keep quiet because he will get a 40 to 50 % cut! So bargain hard. I do feel violated due to falling for this. It's difficult to believe anything you are told. The desert resort called Exotic Luxury Camp had excellent food, good inclusive entertainment and nice rooms with electric, hot water and very comfortable beds. The camel ride to the sand dunes was fun, but 2 are on each camel.
