Overview

About this journey

Jaisalmer rises out of the Thar Desert like a sandcastle — a living fort with homes, temples and havelis still inside its walls. This short adventure combines two nights in the city with two nights in the desert.

You will ride camels across the dunes at sunset, take a jeep safari to abandoned Kuldhara village, sleep in a luxury tented camp and wake to the silence of the desert.

  • Patwon ki Haveli and Gadisar Lake
