Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a full day in Jaisalmer to explore the desert villages of Barmer or a desert camping experience in Khuri. Conversely, to shorten the trip, you can combine Jodhpur and Jaipur highlights into a single day each and depart from Jaisalmer after Day 4, using a flight from Jodhpur to Delhi for onward travel.
