Our Personal Recommendation
Generally in Jaisalmer the days are warm and pleasant. The evenings are cool and beautiful. And the nights especially at a desert camp under the stars are cool and pure magic. Please carry warm clothes especially if you are visiting between November and February.
- ✓ Perfect weather for all outdoor activities
- ✓ Desert camping at its most beautiful
- ✓ Sam Sand Dunes — most stunning during this time
- ✓ Desert Festival in February — most magical event
- Peak season — book everything at least 3-4 weeks in advance
🌸 February - March — Desert Festival Month
Most Magical Time to Visit Jaisalmer
The Jaisalmer Desert Festival locally called Maru Mahotsav is the most vibrant and colourful celebration you will ever witness. Folk music, Kalbelia dance, camel races, turban tying competitions and the famous Mr. Desert contest & Mumal contest all set against the golden backdrop of Sam Sand Dunes under a full moon sky.
Pro Tip from Jaisalmer Family: The city fills up completely during the festival. Book your hotel, transport and safari at least 2 to 3 months in advance. And call us early — our packages during the festival period fill up very fast.

Honest Local Reality Check
Yes it gets very hot — 40 to 48°C during the day. The tourist crowds are completely gone so you get the whole golden city almost entirely to yourself.
If you do visit in summer — plan all outdoor activities for early morning (before 9 AM) and late evening (after 5 PM). Stay indoors or in AC between 11 AM and 4 PM. Carry plenty of water. And let us arrange AC transport for all your trips.
