About Jodhpur
Some people call Jodhpur “sun city” because of the bright, sunny weather it enjoys throughout the year. Whereas many call it a “blue city” because of the blue color painted houses around the Mehrangarh Fort. The old city circles and the fort is bounded by a wall with several gates. You’ll also find the city has expanded very much outside the wall over the past decades. But, somehow it reminds of the Mykonos city of Greece, where a song from Chalte-Chalte movie was shot.

Day 3 & 4: Jaisalmer
About Jaisalmer
Prince Jaisal Bhatti was the founder of the Golder city of Jaisalmer. The town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone, crowned by a fort, which contains the palace and several ornate Jain temples.
Centuries ago Jaisalmer’s strategic position on the camel train route brought its locals the enormous wealth. People spent a portion of this wealth in building intricately carved palaces and temples in golden-yellow sandstone. These fortresses of Jaisalmer also known as Havelis of Jaisalmer are like a mirage in the barren Thar Desert.
On either side of the narrow lanes of Jaisalmer, you’ll find sandstone havelis with stone carvings, screen windows, delicate pavilions, and balconies.
The third and fourth day of your Jodhpur and Jaisalmer tour package will cover the following sites-
- Jaisalmer Fort: It is one of the world’s grandest forts. Bhati Rajput ruler Rawal Jaisal built this fort in 1156 AD and that’s where it derives its name.
- Havelis of Manak Chowk: Here you’ll find age-old havelis still upright. Havelis are a sneak-peek into the rich public life.
- Gadisar Lake: This was the only source of water for the entire Jaisalmer city in the old days. The colorful markets along the lake area is a great experience in itself.
- Sam sand dunes: For the most tantalizing experience of desert safari, camel rides, and evening sunsets, you’ll have the rest of the evening at Sam sand dunes.
Later we’ll drive back to your hotel in Jaisalmer.
