Top 10 Things to Do in Jaisalmer

If Rajasthan is a desert symphony, then Jaisalmer is the crescendo. Rising out of the Thar like a sun-kissed mirage, this golden-hued city is part history book, part fairytale, and part “I can’t believe I just rode a camel in 45°C heat for fun.” But hey, you came for the experience, not the comfort.

So, if you are a person who is very little aware about this Golden Sand Place and what to do on a Jaisalmer Trip, here is a handpicked list of the best things to do in Jaisalmer.

1. Explore Jaisalmer Fort (Sonar Quila) – The Living Citadel

2. Do the Mandatory (but Actually Amazing) Camel Safari

3. Wander Through Patwon Ki Haveli – The Desert’s Version of a Mansion

4. Shop for Stuff that looks too amazing

5. Eat Everything – Especially if It is Drenched in Ghee

6. Sleep Under the Stars – Or at Least Pretend to

7. Hunt for Filmy Moments (and Maybe a Ghost Story)

8. Take a Walk at Gadisar Lake – Early Morning or Moonlight Only

9. Visit to Jaisalmer War Memorial
