Jaisalmer: A Golden City in the Thar
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Rising out of the Thar like a sandcastle, Jaisalmer is Rajasthan at its most romantic — a golden sandstone fort still full of homes, temples and shops.
The experience
Explore the living fort and its jewel-box havelis, then head into the dunes at Sam for a camel ride, folk music and a night under the desert stars.
Time it right
Come October to March — summer is brutal. Bring a warm layer for the surprisingly cold desert nights.
