Jaisalmer- The Desert City, Rajasthan. India.

Known as Golden City because of yellow golden colored stones, this gem city is a must travel if visiting India (Rajasthan) is in your bucket list.

How to Reach 

There are three modes reaching Jaisalmer.

a. By air- Take a flight upto Jodhpur (Nearest airport) and then reach Jaisalmer by car (which is 5 hrs journey).

b. Trains from Jodhpur Junction available in mornings and evenings.

c. Frequent private & public Bus services are there from Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bikaner, Udaipur and nearby cities.

Weather

Jaisalmer is pleasantly cool from September to Febraury end, which is also the best time to visit this Golden city. (Temp. ranges between 20 to 3/4 Degrees from morning to late nights. Nights are more colder.

It is otherwise extremely hot from March to July reaching temperatures upto 55 Degrees to sometimes. Will be tricky to visit Sam Dunes.

It is better to avoid in July- August which is also a monsoon period in most areas in Western Rajasthan.

What to Pack

On the basis of above mentioned weather, try to pack some woolens for winters and cottons for summer months.

Accomodation

From High quality hotels to guest houses, lodges and Paying Guest Houses are available to choose from according to your budget. Almost all information for these accommodated places are available online.

I advise to read some reviews online before booking any hotel or guest house or directly going there. That will save you from lots of hassle.

What to see-

Jaisalmer Fort-

Golden yellow stones makes the fort and the architecture more beautiful than any other fort. The glossy finish of the stone feels like new built houses and fort which are actually years older (some more than 20-30 years). Take a glimpse of the architect in below photograph. Rest I have left up for your own surprises.

Gadsisar Lake-

To enjoy serenity, peace and some boating at this Desert City, Gadsisar Lake is quite a place to hangout and chill.

Sam Dunes-

Camel Safari, Jeep Driving, Motor cycle riding and Sunsets. The place offers everything and I recommend not to miss.

And not to miss that beautiful Sunset. Have a glimpse & go there to enjoy the rest.

Other than these, there are many architectural Havelis and old houses to get the glimpse of historical designs.

Food-

A variety is available to choose from. Not to worry about the taste buds.You will surely have  a lots of options.

Shopping-

Shop for handmade colorful embroidered clutches, handbags, rugs and collage photo albums. Gift them and your loved ones will love you even more. Do not  forget to bargain. You will get great deal with good price if you bargain.

Happy Journey!
