Tips

If you need to stretch the budget, consider swapping the desert camp for a night‑time dune walk (free) and opting for street‑food meals, which can cut about ₹1,500. To extend the trip, add a day in Jaisalmer to explore the lesser‑known Khaba Fort and a sunrise camel ride, or spend an extra day in Jaipur visiting Birla Mandir and the vibrant Rambagh Palace museum.
