Luxury Jaisalmer Private Tours
Discover Jaisalmer, the Golden City of Rajasthan, on a tailor-made tour, where a magnificent living fort rises above the Thar Desert amid intricately carved havelis, ancient Jain temples and atmospheric bazaars. Founded in 1156, Jaisalmer retains the character of its medieval trading past, with generations still living within the celebrated Jaisalmer Fort.
Explore the fort with a knowledgeable local guide, discovering its palaces, temples and narrow lanes, before visiting the exquisite Patwon Ki Haveli, Nathmal Ki Haveli and Salim Singh Ki Haveli. Beyond the city, the royal cenotaphs at Bada Bagh and tranquil Gadisar Lake offer further insight into Jaisalmer’s history and heritage. For a taste of the Thar, we recommend a private excursion into the desert towards sunset, travelling beyond the city to experience the vast dunes, changing colours of the landscape and extraordinary stillness of the desert. Return to your luxury hotel afterwards, combining the romance of the desert with the comfort and service of an exceptional property.
Top places to visit in Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer Fort
The Jaisalmer Fort also goes by the name Sonar Quila (Golden Fort) as it rises from the desert itself and seems to become one with the golden hues of the sand. The setting sun adds its own magic and shrouds the fort with mystique. The fort is constructed in the classic style of the royals by local craftsmen.
Havelis & Jain Temples
Jaisalmer is famous for both its stunning Jain temples and intricate havelis (historic mansions). The Jaisalmer Fort houses seven Jain temples, showcasing intricate carvings and architecture. Adjacent to the fort, and a short walk from the temples, are the Patwon ki Haveli, a cluster of five havelis known for their architectural details.
Sam Sand Dunes
Sam Sand Dunes, located approximately 42 kilometers from Jaisalmer are part of the Thar Desert and offers a spectacular stretch of sweeping dunes with sparse vegetation. The dunes are a visual treat, especially during sunrise and sunset, when the play of colors creates a dramatic landscape. One can enjoy camel rides, which provide a true feel of the desert.
Gadisar Lake
Among the most striking man-made features of Jaisalmer is the Gadisar Lake. Built amidst the arid region of Rajasthan, this lake impersonates the beauty of an oasis.This manmade lake built around the 12th-13th century is now a popular spot with visitors. It is an ideal getaway for architecture lovers, culture enthusiasts, and peace seekers.
"Visit the desert dunes in the late afternoon and stay through sunset, when the intense golden light transforms the Thar into one of Rajasthan’s most memorable landscapes."
