The distance from Jaipur to Jaisalmer is approximately 570 kilometers, and the drive typically takes around 9 to 10 hours.

We recommend an early start from Jaipur to make the most of your day on the road and allow for comfortable arrival in Jaisalmer.

Upon arrival in Jaisalmer in the late afternoon or early evening, check into your hotel. After a long day of travel, you might wish to relax and refresh. Depending on your arrival time and energy levels, here are a few suggested activities for your evening:

Evening in Jaisalmer:

• Gadisar Lake: A tranquil artificial lake that once served as the sole water source of Jaisalmer. Relax by the ghats, especially beautiful during sunset. Its historical chattris and temples reflect in the water, creating a picturesque scene.
• Jaisalmer Fort (Exterior view and surrounding markets): While a full exploration of the fort requires more time, an evening stroll around its base allows you to soak in the magnificent golden glow of the fort against the twilight sky. The bustling markets outside the fort come alive in the evening, perfect for a glimpse into local life and perhaps some souvenir shopping.
