Jodhpur Jaisalmer Trip from Mumbai
Overview
This 5-day trip combines two of Rajasthan's most iconic cities — Jodhpur, the Blue City dominated by the imposing Mehrangarh Fort, and Jaisalmer, the Golden City rising from the Thar Desert with its living fort and intricately carved havelis. Together, they offer one of the most varied and rewarding Rajasthan experiences. In Jodhpur you walk through centuries-old blue-walled lanes, explore one of India's greatest forts, and taste the famed Makhaniya Lassi. In Jaisalmer you step into a living medieval city inside the fort walls, ride camels across the Sam Sand Dunes, and sleep under the stars at a desert camp with Rajasthani folk music echoing across the sands. The 285 km drive between the two cities cuts through the heart of the Thar Desert, with abandoned villages, desert temples, and endless golden landscapes along the way.
Based in Rajasthan, this easy 5-day trek is best attempted during October, November, December, January, February, March — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
