Jaisalmer Travel Guide 2026-27 Everything a First Time Visitor Needs to Know

A LETTER FROM YOUR JAISALMER FAMILY

Before your arrival at Jaisalmer, sit with us for a moment. We have been living in this golden city since childhood. We have welcomed thousands of tourists from Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Delhi, Haryana, Mumbai...

and from countries like UK, USA, France, Germany and Australia. And in all these years we have seen the same things happen again and again. Tourists coming here don't exactly know what to carry, what to wear and what to expect. We do not want that to happen to you.

So consider this your personal guide from your Jaisalmer family — written honestly, written warmly and written with one simple goal. To make sure your Jaisalmer trip is as smooth, comfortable and absolutely magical as it deserves to be.
