Jodhpur Jaisalmer Trip

Overview

This 5-day Jodhpur Jaisalmer Trip from Mumbai takes you to 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.

Travellers reach Jodhpur from Mumbai by an overnight train (a direct flight takes around 1.5 hours), then continue overland to Jaisalmer on the second day. Beyond the forts, the trip layers in the sound-and-light show at Mehrangarh, a visit to the Umaid Bhawan Palace and Jaswant Thada, the havelis and Jain temples of Jaisalmer Fort, Gadisar Lake, and the optional ghost village of Kuldhara. Nights are split between a heritage hotel in Jodhpur and a desert camp in Jaisalmer, where camel safaris at the Sam Sand Dunes and Rajasthani folk evenings under the stars are the high points.

The best time for this route is October to March, when desert days are warm and nights are pleasantly cool. The package includes an experienced trip leader from Mumbai, round-trip train tickets to Jodhpur, private Jodhpur–Jaisalmer transfers, two nights each in Jodhpur and the Jaisalmer desert camp, daily breakfast and dinner at the camp, guided tours, and a camel safari at the dunes.

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.
