Start with a hearty Rajasthani breakfast and famous sweets at this historic Johari Bazaar eatery — great for local flavors and a rooftop view of the old city.
Explore sprawling ramparts, Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) and elephant/jeep approaches — essential for history and hilltop views. Open daily 8:00–17:30 (last entry varies).
See the 18th-century astronomical instruments at Jantar Mantar (open 9:00–16:30) and view Hawa Mahal façades; a short walking cluster in the pink city.
One of Rajasthan's most impressive forts with museums, ramparts and panoramic city views; open typically 9:00–17:30 — allow time for exhibitions and a guided tour.
If you prefer, catch sunrise views; otherwise depart early for Osian (temple town) en route to Jaisalmer — keeps travel comfortable before midday heat.
Visit 8th–12th century temple ruins and optionally take a short camel or jeep ride among the dunes near Osian — a quieter desert preview before Jaisalmer.
Explore the living fort, narrow alleys, and ornate havelis like Patwon Ki Haveli; fort hours typically 9:00–18:30 but many shops/cafes inside remain open later.
Head out for a sunset camel safari and overnight at a desert camp with a cultural program (folk music/dance) and a traditional dinner — camps usually start afternoon to evening.
Short excursion to the eerie abandoned village of Kuldhara (if open and accessible) or visit the Desert Cultural Centre & Museum to deepen cultural context.
If your travel schedule includes an extra night (you mentioned 6 nights), enjoy a farewell dinner at a rooftop haveli for one last sunset view of the fort.
