Luxury & Private Jaisalmer Tours 2024/2025

With its picture-perfect honey coloured fort, this magical desert city is quintessential Rajput India. Protected by a nine mile curtain wall, the fort sits high above the city and is a rabbit-warren of narrow streets, Jain temples, stately haveli homes and royal palace apartments – all little-changed since medieval times.

Located on the western extremity of the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer developed into a busy overland trading outpost and as the wealth of its inhabitants grew, the city quickly became a regionally important power in its own right. The main reason for any visit to Jaisalmer is to see the UNESCO protected fort, explore the atmospheric lanes, visit merchant havelis and enter some of the more important temples. To this day the fort remains a place of living history and is a home to some and a place of work to many.

Things to do in Jaisalmer

Situated in the heart of the Thar Desert, the ‘Golden City’ as it is known due to the sandstone rich buildings and terrain, is a walled township, or living fort, enclosing a maze of bustling narrow streets, medieval palaces and Rajhastani havelis. Meandering through the bustling alleys and vibrant bazaars is an insightful experience into the local way of life, whilst a dusk camel safari makes for a unique and romantic experience.
