8 Days Rajasthan Tour, Jaipur Jaisalmer Jodhpur and Udaipur Tour

Since long I’ve been wanting to explore few famous cities of Rajasthan with my family but we were waiting for the winter break. When the winter break was about to begin, we started searching for Rajasthan tour packages online and the tour package offered by Select India was the best because it exactly matched our budget and requirements. So we went for this. This was our first ever trip to India, we were completely unaware about the land and even had second thoughts about the trip until we realized that choosing Select India as our travel guide was the best decision we made.

The initial 2 days of the trip were in the Pink City of India, that is Jaipur. So, we landed at Jaipur airport and a taxi was pre-booked to pick us up and drop us at Vimal heritage. The hotel seemed pleasant and royal because of its traditional ambience and the rooms were pretty clean and equipped with all the basic facilities. After a long rest, our tour operator Mr. Ramesh came to pick us from the hotel for sightseeing.

First, Mr. Ramesh took us to the most beautiful part of Jaipur that is Amber fort and palace. The architecture was beautiful and Sheesha Mahal is a beautiful hall. My kids really enjoyed the Elephant ride there. The next visit was to the Hawa Mahal which is one of the most visited monuments because of its giant crown like design. Later Mr. Ramesh took us to the famous Chowki dhani which is a great place with nice ambience and serves a variety of cuisines. 2nd day was also great as Mr. Ramesh took us to the City Palace that is one of the most remarkable monuments. We spent quite some time at the great museum in there which showcases Rajput culture. Later we he took us to the famous Pink city bazaar where my kids bought a lot of traditional Indian things.

Next morning, we travelled to our next spot that was Jaisalmer via road and in about 10 hours we reached our hotel, Golden haveli. The place was comfortable with a beautiful architecture and great facilities. Later during the day, we went for a Desert Safari in Jaisalmer where I and my family enjoyed the scenic view on a camel ride. Mr. Ramesh took us to the Jaisalmer fort which is indeed a beautiful palace. 2nd day at Jaisalmer was fun too as Mr. Ramesh took us to the Gadisar lake where we enjoyed the view from a boat ride and then we visited the main Bazaar of the town which was beautifully decorated.

Later at night we checked out for our next destination that was Jodhpur and via road - we reached in approximately 5 hours where we checked in to Mandore guest house which is a great place to stay. Later that night, Mr. Ramesh took us to the famous Mehrangarh fort and museum which is a captivating massive site with preserved art. Then we visited the popular Kalyana lake. We had our dinner at the hotel and no the food and service were very good.

Next day we left for Udaipur and after a 4-hour ride, we checked in to Amantra Comfort, a comfortable place with gorgeous décor. 1st day Mr. Ramesh took us to the famous city palace with enthral art and one of the oldest and largest lakes, Lake Pichola. 2nd day at Udaipur was great as we visited Sajjangarh fort renowned for the height it is made at and the famous Fateh Sagar lake which was as blue as the sky.

That is how my entire trip went and I am glad that I chose Select India as my travel guide.

Jaisalmer Guide: Planning Your Trip

Michele Falzone/Getty Images

Remotely located in far western Rajasthan, near the border of Pakistan, Jaisalmer requires effort to reach but it's definitely worth it. Rising out of the sandy Thar Desert, this astonishing golden sandstone city will transport you to another era, back when it was a stop on the Silk Route from Central Asia to China.   Dominating the landscape is Jaisalmer's evocative 12th-century fort, which was once inhabited by royal rulers and is still home to a quarter of the city's residents.   It's one of the last living forts in India and the world, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  

Find out all you need to know in this Jaisalmer guide.

Planning Your Trip

• Best Time to Visit: Jaisalmer has an extreme desert climate with cold winter nights, scorching summer days, and very little rain. The tourist season runs from October to March during the coolest parts of the year. In January, overnight temperatures drop to around 41 degrees F (5 degrees C), but the days are pleasant, with highs usually above 68 degrees F (20 degrees C). It's not advisable to visit Jaisalmer from April through August, unless you can deal with searing daily temperatures above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). The September shoulder season will still be hot, but it can be ideal for avoiding the crowds.
• Language: Rajasthani, Hindi, and English.
• Currency: Indian rupee.
• Time Zone: UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) +5.5 hours, also known as Indian Standard Time. Udaipur does not have daylight saving time.
• Getting Around: Much of the city can be covered on foot, so do bring comfortable walking shoes. Bicycles (useful for accessing narrow lanes and avoiding traffic bottlenecks) and motorcycles are also available for rent. Alternatively, auto rickshaws are convenient for short trips and can be readily flagged down. If you're venturing further afield into the desert, it's best to hire a taxi for the day. Rates start from around 3,000 rupees ($40). Taxi companies also offer half-day local sightseeing excursions from around 1,500 rupees ($20). App-based cab services such as Uber don't operate in Jaisalmer as of yet.
• Travel Tip: Try to catch the fun Jaisalmer Desert Festival, held over three days in late January or February each year.

Things to Do

Jaisalmer provides an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in a piece of living history and learn about desert culture. The city revolves around the fort and has magnificent 19th-century noble mansions, ornate Jain temples dating back to the 12th century, royal cenotaphs, and a serene 14th-century man-made lake dotted with small shrines. Sunsets over the fort are spectacular, as its structure appears to merge with the desert. You'll want to devote at least a day to exploring the surrounding desert landscape, too.

• Take a guided walking tour of the fort and surrounding vicinity. Several companies offer such tours, including this insightful Fort Heritage Walk by Jaisalmer Magic . There's a labyrinth of shops, restaurants, homes, hotels, places of worship, and a museum inside the fort. It's fascinating!
• Marvel at the architecture and intricate stone carvings of Patwaon ki Haveli , Nathmal ki Haveli, and Salim Singh ki Haveli mansions. Patwaon ki Haveli is the pick of the bunch if you're short on time or money.
• Go on a camel safari in the desert , or jeep safari if you don't have an affinity for camels.

What to Eat and Drink

Jaisalmer's distinctive regional cuisine is reflective of the ingredients available in the arid desert environment. It's typically vegetarian, and utilizes a lot of pulses and hardy grains such as millet. Ker Sangri is an unusual specialty of the region, made from pickled Indigenous berries and beans that grow wild in the Thar Desert. Try Haldi ki Sabji (turmeric yogurt curry) during winter. The city's most iconic drink is a cooling Makhania Lassi (sweet buttermilk with dry fruits). Pyaaz ki Kachori, a popular snack of deep-fried pastry discs with onion filling, is sold on streets all over the city. Local sweets include Ghotua Laddoo and Panchdhari Ladoo (balls of flour, ghee, and spices). Get them from Dhanraj Ranmal Bhatia sweet shop near the fort.

You'll no doubt encounter government-authorized bhaang shops in Jaisalmer. Bhaang is a paste made from cannabis plant leafs, and it has an ancient connection with Hinduism and Lord Shiva  . It's commonly served in drinks during the Holi festival . The shops in Jaisalmer sell it in cookies, cakes, and lassi (a yogurt-based shake). Be careful to consume in moderation, though, because you won't feel the effects straight away.

Jaisalmer isn't known for its nightlife or extensive range of alcohol, so your best bet for a memorable evening is to head to a rooftop restaurant or bar with fort views at sundown. Cafe the Kaku at near Sunset Point and Helsinki House hotel near Gadi Sagar are both outstanding. The Dunes Bar at the Marriott Resort and Spa is more upmarket with cocktails and fine wines.

Where to Stay

Visitors to Jaisalmer are often keen to stay within the fort, which is understandable as it certainly is alluring. However, it's important to be aware of the environmental challenges the fort is facing, particularly damage from drainage and water seepage.   In addition, keep in mind that accessibility can be an issue, as cars aren't permitted inside the fort and auto rickshaws can only go up to certain points. As an alternative, there are many atmospheric accommodations for all budgets in the area below the fort, and they provide a panoramic vista of the fort from their rooftops. Tourists often spend a night or two in the desert near Jaisalmer as well. The majority of desert camps are situated around the Sam Sand Dunes. This area is very commercial, though; if noise is a concern, choose a camp that's further out from the tourist hub there, or stay in the Khuri Sand Dunes.

Check out our recommendations of the best Jaisalmer hotels with fort views for all budgets, and the top Jaisalmer desert camps for glamping .

Getting There

Jaisalmer's small airport operates out of an Indian Air Force base. It receives limited direct flights from nearby major cities such as Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai. By road, Jaisalmer is about five hours from Jodhpur and Bikaner. Expect to pay 4,000 to 5,000 rupees ($55 to $65) for a cab from Jodhpur (we recommend stopping at Pokhran Fort along the way). Regular, inexpensive buses also run from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer; tickets cost around 500 rupees.

Indian Railways train is another option. There are trains from major cities such as Delhi, Jaipur, and Jodhpur. Two of the most prominent ones are the 14659 Runicha Express from Delhi (via Jaipur and Jodhpur), and the overnight 14810 Jodhpur Jaisalmer Express . You'll need to book well in advance.

Culture and Customs

Competition for tourist business is fierce in Jaisalmer, giving rise to the prevalence of touts and scams. You'll most likely be approached by someone wanting to provide their services or sell something outside the fort entrance, at the train and bus stations, and at the sand dunes. Touts can even be aboard buses from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer. Fortunately, locals have launched an anti-tout campaign to curb the harassment, but you should still be prepared to be firm in dealing with such people. Don't be swayed by their cheap prices for camel safaris and hotels, and don't believe it if they tell you your hotel has closed or burnt down. Touts and camel safari operators are also known to offer free accommodations on the Couchsurfing platform as a way of luring travelers in.

Conservative dress is most appropriate in Jaisalmer. It's respectful to keep your shoulders and legs covered. A shawl is handy to throw over a sleeveless top or dress.

Tipping isn't compulsory in India, although it's expected if you're happy with the service. A 10 to 15 percent tip is sufficient at a restaurant, or simply round the bill up on smaller amounts. Flag down the waiter to get your bill. Hotels will commonly have a tip box where you can leave gratuities for the staff.

Money Saving Tips

• The fort is free to enter and never closes. Gadisar Lake is another free attraction.
• You'll get hefty discounts from April to September if you can bear the heat.
• Research thoroughly and bargain hard to avoid being ripped off, especially when doing touristy activities such as desert safaris.
• Stay at a backpacker hostel such as Zostel.
• Hire a scooter or motorbike for the day to reduce transportation costs. Backpacker hostels provide this service at a reasonable price.
• Grab an unlimited Rajasthani thali (platter) for lunch. You'll be able to eat as much as you can for only a few dollars.

While both Jodhpur and Udaipur are bound to woo you with what is still preserved of a bygone regal era, Jaisalmer is the perfect spot for the adventure junkie. Hence travelling to all three cities is for sure going to be a potpourri of experiences.

• Day 03: Arrival at Jodhpur (4 hours 26 minutes/283.1 km)
• Day 04: All day tour at Jodhpur
• Day 05: Arrival at Udaipur (4 hours, 29 minutes/ 249.6 km)
• Day 06: All day tour at Udaipur
• Day 07: Departure

‘The Golden City’, situated at the heart of the Thar Desert is known so for a reason. The forts and the towns of the city are mostly constructed out of yellows sandstone, which turns golden yellow upon reflecting the sunlight. Otherwise, the name Jaisalmer comes from a Rajput king who founded the city in 1156 AD – Jaisal Singh. The Jaisalmer Fort is apparently one of the few living forts in India, for a good portion of Jaisalmer’s old city still lives inside the fort. The ‘Queen of Thar’ is a melting pot of tourism activities.

You can start your day relishing the historical charm of the place, by visiting the Jaisalmer Fort. But the sand dunes are all waiting to evoke the adventure junkie in you. There are myriad activities to choose from, that happens in the desert. You can try out the desert safari you thought was probably possible only in Middle Eastern countries in Jaisalmer. Apart from that, there is Parasailing, Quad biking and Camel safaris, among others. Camping in the deserts can be simple, as well as a luxurious experience. Either way it is sure to blow your mind, especially at night when you can watch a sky full of stars, making it look surreal. You can also visit the Indo-Pak border and Gadsisar lake too, however, if you have thing for spooky stories, then Kuldhara village is a must visit. There are many havelis in the city that are nothing short of jaw-dropping architectural marvels.

From the heart of Thar Desert, you now move a little towards the side, to Jodhpur, the city founded by Rao Jodha in 1459. Jodhpur is said to be where you can see the sun rising first, and hence it is called Sun City. Because of the vast spread of blue coloured houses, it also came to be known as Blue City. Jodhpur, too, has forts and distinct features that make the city uniquely beautiful.

Wrapped in breathtaking beauty and folklore is the ancient Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest forts in India. Built out of red sandstone, it is a sharp contrast to the sea of blue houses in its valley. The fort, with high walls for boundaries, is 410 feet above the city and on its walls, have marks of cannon balls, and hand imprints of the women who committed sati centuries ago. The museum inside the fort showcases artifacts that once belonged to the kingdom. Once you are done with the sightseeing, you can also get into some adventure by zip-lining with the Flying Fox Jodhpur. The Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park, once a waste land which has now been converted into a desert rock park, is a perfect spot to go exploring and trekking. The Jaswant Thada is yet another architectural marvel you must not miss. It is a cenotaph built by Maharaja Sardar Singh in memory of his father. The white marbles that were used to build the cenotaph emanate a warm glow as the sunlight hits it. The clock tower in the city and the markets situated around it is the place to go if you’re planning on doing some shopping.

With its lakes and palaces, Udaipur looks every bit regal. Hence, it has been fittingly called the ‘City of Lakes’, as well as ‘Venice of the East’. The city, founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1553, is always bustling with activities, waiting to offer you diverse experiences. Hence, it might be quite a task to fit all the places and experiences into one day.

Situated in the banks of Lake Pichola is the Udaipur City Palace, consisting of four major and other minor palaces. Apart from the balconies, cupolas and towers that speak volumes about the architectural marvel that the palace is, it also has a museum displaying the belongings of the royal families. Take a boat ride in the Pichola Lake. Head towards the popular Lake Palace next. This palace, which has now been converted into a luxury hotel, has been the location for many movies. To explore more on the Mewar culture, drop by at Bagore Ki Haveli and the museum that displays antique collection belonging to the Rajputs. You’ll find everyday items such as jewelry boxes, copper vessels, etc. If you are a motor head, then the grounds of Garden Hotel is a must-visit. They have a collection of vintage car that were mostly used by the maharajas. After shopping for traditional stuff at Shilpgram, watch the sunset at the Monsoon Palace.

On the 7th day, your trip comes to an end. Our agent will drop you at the airport or railway station. With bundles of memories, you head back home.

A Travel Price Comparison for India Udaipur vs. Jaisalmer for Vacations, Tours, and Honeymoons

• Which is Cheaper, Udaipur or Jaisalmer? (Travel Cost Comparison)

Which is Bigger, Udaipur or Jaisalmer?

Should you visit udaipur or jaisalmer, which is cheaper to visit which is more expensive for vacation.

Which city should you visit? Read on to compare the activities as well as the prices of travel for Udaipur and Jaisalmer. We'll break down costs for accommodation, food, transportation and more to help you learn more about these two destinations. Then, you can figure out if either of these two places are accessible based on your travel budget, schedule, and interests. So, let's dig into it.

Where Should I go: Udaipur or Jaisalmer?

Udaipur, also known as the "Venice of the East," is becoming increasingly popular as an Indian wedding destination as well as with travelers searching for a romantic and picturesque city, rich with history, scenic areas, and palaces. The "City of Lakes" is located in south of Rajasthan. There are a total of ten lakes in the lake system, which are connected and sustain water for drinking, irrigation and industrial use, which contributes to another reason for Udaipur's booming tourism: alcohol. Udaipur has ideal climate and available water to support a liquor plant while a number of other Indian states ban the consumption of liquor altogether. Many local tourists, such as those from the neighboring dry state of Gujarat on the west, visit Udaipur specifically for this reason, especially considering that Gujarati alcohol prices are much higher and liquor must be purchased through the black market. It's no wonder why Udaipur is the destination for celebrations and vacation. Udaipur has tropical weather and three main seasons, which are summer, monsoon, and winter. Winter, which takes place between September to March, is the most pleasant time to visit for sunny and warm days and cool nights. Udaipur was also made famous in the James Bond film Octopussy . Several local hotels show the film nightly.

Jaisalmer is located in western part of the Rajasthan state of India. The city is known as the "Golden City" for its Sonar Qila, or 'Golden Fort'. This fort is different than other forts in India in that it is a living fort, meaning that it contains many hotels, homes, and shops for locals and visitors. The city is very close to the Thar Desert, to which excursions can be made.

1) what would be the best order of places to visit?

2) Best (cost effective) mode of transport? We were thinking trains, but want to minimise time spent travelling

3) Is it possible to cover all of this in 8 days with travel time?

Thank you so much!

Hi do this:

Mode: Car /Train

For more info refer to this post: http://travelinginrajasthan.blogspot.in/

Jaipur > Bikaner > Jaisalmer > Jodhpur > Udaipur > Pushkar /Ajmer and then Train to Delhi

Thank you so much! But the only reason I'm worried about udaipur is because travelling takes time.

So far the itinerary I have compiled is this:

18/08- Jaipur

19/08- Jaipur

20/08- Jaipur. Take the 11:15pm train to Jaisalmer

21/08- Arrive afternoon in Jaisalmer. Leave on one night dessert trip at 3pm

22/08- Back to Jaisalmer city.

23/08- Take evening train to Jodhpur , arrive at night

24/08- Jodhpur

25/08- Take afternoon flight to Delhi.

25/08- Catch evening flight out of Delhi

How can I improve on this to include quality time in Udaipur , including travel time?

And if we hire a car from Jaipur how can we travel, and be back in time in Delhi for the flight out? Unfortunately connecting flights take a long time, so we waste time travelling....

We are from Sri Lanka, so maybe we can do Delhi, Agra, Udaipur and nearby cities on another trip another time?

Can suggest you as under:-

18.08- Morning reach Udaipur.....Transfer to hotel...Later visit local city...evening enjoy boat ride at lake pichola.

19.08- Udaipur - Jodhpur - Morning leave for Jodhpur enroute visiting Ranakpur jain temples....

20.08- Jodhpur - Jaisalmer - Morning visit Mehrangarh fort , Jaswant Thada and Umaid Bhawan Palae of Jodhpur. P.M. leave for Jaisalmer. Over night in Jaisalmer.

21.08- In Jaisalmer- Morning visit fort, lake and havelis of Jaisalmer. Evening visit SAM sand dunes. Over night in Jaisalmer.

22.08- Jaisalmer - Bikaner ...Morning leave for Bikaner...P.M. visit fort....Over night at hotel.

23.08- Bikaner - Jaipur - Morning leave for Jaipur...

24.08- In Jaipur - Morning visit Amber fort (elephant ride can be enjoyed here)....Later visit city palace, Hawa mahal (Palace of winds), Jantar-Mantar , Albert hall etc.Over night in Jaipur

25.08- Jaipur - Delhi- Morning leave for Delhi...Drop at airport......

Hope you would like it.... Pls revert......

Jaisalmer Itinerary for 2 Days & Complete Jaisalmer Travel Guide

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. I earn from any qualifying purchases, at no additional cost to you.

This post contains a Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days, in addition to a complete Jaisalmer travel guide.

Jaisalmer, also known as the golden city, is located in Rajasthan, India. This city has been termed as the golden city due to the houses and the famous Jaisalmer fort here which have been constructed using yellow sandstone as well as yellow sand, giving them a yellowish golden appearance. If you look at the city from a height, Jaisalmer will appear golden in color, thus crowning it with the name golden city of India. Located in the far western end of India, Jaisalmer’s proximity to the Thar desert makes it a popular tourist destination for those who wish to experience a camel safari or a jeep safari in the desert. Jaisalmer was named after the Rajput King Jaisal Singh who founded the city in 1156 AD. Besides this 2 day Jaisalmer itinerary, if you're want to see more pictures of my trip to Rajasthan, then head over to my Instagram profile ( @thespicyjourney ).

Most people who visit Rajasthan often head straight away to the popular cities such as Jaipur - the pink city and Udaipur - the city of Lakes. While both these cities are popular for good reason such as the stunning culture, architecture and the monuments, Jaisalmer is often overlooked by tourists. The golden city deserves for credit for sure and this article is sure to convince you to visit this desert city.

Jaisalmer Travel Guide & Jaisalmer Itinerary for 2 Days

This Jaisalmer travel guide + Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days focuses on the many enriching experiences that one can enjoy in the golden city of India. While the sprawling Jaisalmer fort marks the iconic landscape of Jaisalmer city, there’s a long list of things to do in Jaisalmer, which not only includes exploring the many temples and sites inside the Jaisalmer fort but a lot more than that. Despite its slightly offbeat location, Jaisalmer is among the top places to visit in Rajasthan, India.

Best Time to Visit Jaisalmer Rajasthan

• Summer (April - June): Since Jaisalmer is situated in the Thar desert, it can get unbearing hot during the summer. It’s best to avoid visiting Jaisalmer during this season.
• Monsoon (July - September): While the monsoon months from July to September bring relief from the heat but the downpours can be cumbersome and the streets may be muddy during this time of the year.
• Winter (October - March): The winter months are a good time to visit Jaisalmer, especially October-November as well as February-March when the weather is pleasant with it being neither too hot nor too cold. This is the best time to visit Jaisalmer golden city.

How to Reach Jaisalmer, the Golden City

Nearest airport to jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer doesn’t have an airport but the Jodhpur airport is the closest airport to Jaisalmer, located roughly 300 km away. You can take a cab from Jodhpur airport to Jaisalmer. Alternatively, you could even take a local train or bus from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer which is a much cheaper option.

Nearest Railway Station to Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer has a railway station called the Jaisalmer Railway Station (JSM) which is well connected to nearby cities within Rajasthan as well as other major cities in India.

Delhi to Jaisalmer

The distance of 766 km between Delhi and Jaisalmer is 585 km and can be covered by road in 12-14 hours or by a direct train in 17 hours. Alternatively, there are flights available from Delhi to Jodhpur and the rest of the journey from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer can be covered by rail or road.

Jodhpur to Jaisalmer

The distance from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer is roughly less than 300 km which can be covered by road or rail. There are Rajasthan state transport buses plying between the two cities. Apart from this, there are comfortable private AC buses running between the cities as well. Moreover, there are direct trains for Jodhpur to Jaisalmer and vice-versa. While one can hire private cabs, it's a faster but much more expensive option compared to taking a bus or train.

Getting Around Jaisalmer

Even though most of the sightseeing places in Jaisalmer lie within walking distance of the Jaisalmer fort, you will need to hire a cab or auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) to explore some of the places to visit in Jaisalmer which lie just outside the city. There are lots of tour guides and tour companies which offer good rates on half-day or full-day tours of the sightseeing places which lie just outside Jaisalmer.

Where to Stay in Jaisalmer

Zostel jaisalmer.

View from the rooftop at Zostel Jaisalmer

I cannot put into words how wonderful my stay at Zostel Jaisalmer was. Zostel Jaisalmer is located inside the Jaisalmer fort. While that in itself may sound amazing, the property is absolutely beautiful, decorated tastefully using traditional Rajasthani fabrics and decor items. The cherry on top though is the rooftop that has comfortable seating overlooking the entire city. Zostel Jaisalmer has dorms as well as private rooms, multiple common rooms, and an in-house cafe. They also organize lots of activities that include walks inside the fort, food walks, and desert safari.

Check Availability at Zostel Jaisalmer on Booking.com

Moustache Jaisalmer

Moustache Jaisalmer is yet another one of the wonderful places to stay in Jaisalmer. Even though this hostel is located just outside the Jaisalmer fort, unlike Zostel which is inside the fort, it is located within walking distance from the fort. What I loved about Moustache Jaisalmer was the open verandah right in the center, giving it a very traditional appearance. There are comfortable cushions around this verandah. That, along with the intricately carved walls and the availability of both private rooms as well as dorm rooms make Moustache Jaisalmer one of the best places to stay in Jaisalmer.

Check Availability at Moustache Jaisalmer on Booking.com

Hotels in Jaisalmer Inside Jailsamer Fort

When it comes to finding hotels in Jaisalmer, I strongly recommend getting a hotel inside the Jaisalmer fort. Even if you don’t manage to do that, there are tons of hotels near the Jaisalmer fort. Since the fort by itself contains a lot of sightseeing places and is close to all the other places to visit in Jaisalmer, it’s best to stay close to the fort. This way you can just walk to the nearby spots without having to hire a tuk-tuk.

Jaisalmer Itinerary - Best Places to Visit in Jaisalmer in 2 Days

Day 1 of jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days.

Spend your first day in Jaisalmer by exploring all the sightseeing places in and around the Jaisalmer fort and by shopping for souvenirs. 

1. Patwon ki Haveli / Patwa Haveli

Patwon ki haveli or Patwa haveli is the first stop among all the places to visit in Jaisalmer in 2 days. This haveli, or traditional mansion, is one of the three major havelis in Jaisalmer and thus cannot be skipped out of your Jaisalmer itinerary. Patwon ki haveli is a cluster of 5 mansions constructed in the year 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa, a wealthy trader, one for each of his five sons. Today, there is a museum inside the haveli and it’s also open for visitors to walk around and take a tour of the haveli, with or without a guide. 

Open all days 8.30 am to 6.40 pm

2. Jaisalmer Fort - Unmissable Place in any Jaisalmer Itinerary

Jaisalmer fort, named after the Maharajah Maharawal Jaisal, is made up of yellow sandstone and thus also known as the golden fort or sonar qila . This spectacular fort has a fortification wall that is 5 km in circumference and 2-3 m in thickness. Not only that, but Jaisalmer fort is also one of the very few “living” forts in the world where people actually reside inside the fort. That’s right - there’s a whole bustling community along with sightseeing places inside the fort as well as temples and lots of shops and restaurants. Entry to the fort is free but some of the sightseeing spots may charge their own visiting fee.

Must Read: A Complete Delhi Travel Guide

3. Jain Temple

The set of Jain temples is one of the must-visit places inside the Jaisalmer fort. Apart from the elaborate carvings, what’s most impressive is that this cluster of 7 Jain temples contains a combined total of 6666 statues of the 24 prophets of Jainism. Additionally, if you add 6+6+6+6 it gives you the number 24 -  which is the number of prophets in the Jain religion. Apart from this clever play with numbers, the detailed work inside these temples is very impressive. 

Open all days 8 to 12 pm

4. Canon Point

Canon point is one of the open-air areas inside the Jaisalmer fort from where you can get an epic city view. Since the fort itself is at a height and the canon point is further high up inside the fort, you can get a nice panoramic view of Jaisalmer city from here. While canon point is also known as sunset point, I found that the sunset view from inside the Zostel Jaisalmer rooftop, where I stayed at, was much better since there was no crowd and there was comfortable seating to enjoy the sunset. Canon point can often get a little crowded.

5. Eat at One of the Many Restaurants Inside the Jaisalmer Fort

While this may seem very trivial and unimportant to some, I cannot stress how important it is that you include a meal inside the Jaisalmer fort in your Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days. I visited a restaurant right inside the main entrance of the fort for lunch. While I felt that the food was a tad bit overpriced for the taste and quantity that was provided, the view from there was worth every single rupee! Jaisal Italy was the only restaurant inside the Jaisalmer fort that I visited for both lunch and dinner because I fell in love with the view from here, although I found the taste of the food to be quite average for the price.

6. Shopping in Jaisalmer Fort

Finish off day one of your Jaisalmer itinerary by shopping for clothing, jewelry, home decor items, and souvenirs. As you step inside the Jaisalmer, you’ll see countless lanes lines with small and big shops on both sides. I would avoid the bigger shops, as I felt the prices there were higher compared to other shops for the exact same items. I would suggest walking right inside the fort, near the museum and the Jain temple area and checking out the many shops there.

DAY 2 OF JAISALMER ITINERARY FOR 2 DAYS

You will start your second day in Jaisalmer, golden city, by watching an epic sunrise and going for a desert safari in the sam sand dunes of the Thar desert.

1. Gadisar Lake

Start the second day of your Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days by catching the sunrise at Gadisar lake. The lake is located less than a kilometer from the fort so I walked from the fort, where I was staying, to Gadisar or Gadisagar lake. Apart from a couple of elderly people, who were taking a morning stroll around the perimeter of the lake, the place was completely deserted. And so, not only did I get to watch a spectacular sunrise, but I also got fantastic pictures here with no one in sight. There are boats here for visitors to take a boating tour around the lake but it wasn’t open that early in the morning

2. Kuldhara - The Abandoned Village

Kuldhara, also known as the abandoned village or cursed village, is located at a distance of 21 km from Jaisalmer. Once inhabited by the Paliwal Brahmins, it is believed that the village was abandoned overnight in the early 19th century due to plague, drought, and prosecution by a cruel minister. Now visitors can visit Kuldhara village during the daytime hours. There is no entrance fee for visiting Kuldhara. You can stop by the village before heading to the sam sand dunes for a desert safari.

3. Desert Oasis

I had visited both Kuldhara village and a desert oasis on a desert safari tour. Our guide took my tour group to both these places on the way to the desert. The oasis inside the desert was located off of the main road between Kuldhara and the sam sand dunes. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place to just sit and mingle with the rest of the people on the safari tour with me.

4. Desert Safari

A desert safari is by far one of the best things to do in Jaisalmer. You just cannot miss this experience among all the things to do in your Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days. I booked a desert safari costing INR 1900 via Zostel Jaisalmer, where I was staying. The safari included a jeep ride to Kuldhara village, going via the desert oasis to the sam sand dunes in the Thar desert. A camel ride, evening snacks, evening tea, a local vegetarian dinner, overnight stay inside a tent (or under the open sky on a cot), breakfast the next morning and a ride back were also included. While most people choose to stay in the desert overnight, in case you need to head back to your hotel on the same night, you can even ask to be dropped back right after dinner.

Food to Try in Jaisalmer

You must try the two famous local specialties - the Jaisalmer or Rajasthani thali as well as daal baati churma while you’re in Jaisalmer. Ask your hotel or hostel for recommendations for the best places where you can try them.

Where to Eat in Jaisalmer - Best Restaurants and Cafes in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

As mentioned earlier, I highly recommend eating at least one meal at a restaurant inside the Jaisalmer fort. I had lunch and dinner at Jaisal Italy, which is right at the main entrance of the fort. Additionally, I also liked the view of the Jain temple from the Jaisalmer Oasis Restaurant, which is also inside the fort, right next to Zostel Jaisalmer.
