Jaisalmer

Golden sandstone, then the open desert

About Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer rises from the Thar Desert in warm sandstone: a living fort, intricately carved havelis and lanes that still belong to the people who live there. Explore with a guide in the cooler hours, then leave the city for a desert camp and a different scale of landscape. In Signature Rajasthan, the two-night stay allows time for both the architecture and an unhurried evening beneath the desert sky.

Best time to visit: October to March for gentler desert temperatures. Winter evenings can be cold, especially at camp.

Worth arranging

  • Jaisalmer Fort and its inhabited lanes
  • Carved sandstone havelis with a private guide
  • A desert evening with time for the changing light
