Two-Day Adventure Itinerary in Jaisalmer in August 2023

  1. Day 1: Sand Dunes and Camel Safari
    30 minutes (20 miles) from Jaisalmer Airport

    Start your adventure in Jaisalmer with an exciting camel safari through the desert. In the morning, head to the Sam Sand Dunes, located 42 kilometers from Jaisalmer city. Here you'll find a vast, undulating terrain of sand, ideal for adventure activities like dune bashing and sandboarding. You can also take a camel ride to explore the area. After a morning of adventure, enjoy a traditional Rajasthani lunch at a desert camp. Spend the afternoon relaxing at the camp or take part in cultural activities like folk music and dance performances. As the evening approaches, head back to the dunes for a mesmerizing sunset view. Spend the night under the stars at the camp and enjoy a delicious dinner before retiring to your tent.

  2. Day 2: Jaisalmer Fort and Bada Bagh
    1 hour 20 minutes (30 miles) from Sam Sand Dunes

    Start your day with a visit to the Jaisalmer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort is also known as Sonar Quila or Golden Fort because of the yellow sandstone used in its construction. Explore the narrow lanes of the fort and visit its various attractions like the Jain Temples, Raj Mahal, and Laxminath Temple. After a morning at the fort, head to Bada Bagh, a garden complex located 6 kilometers from Jaisalmer. Bada Bagh is a serene oasis that features a series of cenotaphs or chhatris of the royal family. The place is perfect for a picnic lunch amidst the lush greenery and tranquil surroundings. Spend the afternoon relaxing before heading back to Jaisalmer city. In the evening, explore the local markets for souvenirs like handicrafts, textiles, and jewelry.

Aside from the above attractions, you may also consider visiting Gadisar Lake, a man-made lake surrounded by temples and ghats. You can also take a side trip to Kuldhara, an abandoned village with a mysterious past. To maximize your fun, try hot air ballooning over the sand dunes or take a quad bike tour. Don't forget to indulge in the local cuisine, especially the famous Dal Bati Churma and Gatte ki Sabzi. Lastly, be sure to catch a glimpse of Jaisalmer's vibrant culture through its festivals like Desert Festival and Teej.
