Useful Tips

If you have more time, don't miss Jaisalmer's "Sam Sand Dunes," a stunning desert with camel riding, sunset views, and traditional dancing. You can consider adding Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Ajmer if you want to get a spiritually enlightening experience. If you have less time, you can skip Jaisalmer and focus only on Jaipur and Udaipur. Be careful while visiting in summers as during the day the temperature gets quite high, so it’s better to plan accordingly.
