Jaisalmer Travel Guide
2 Days Itinerary for Jaisalmer
Best places to visit in two days.
Overview
A two day Jaisalmer itinerary works best when you keep the old city and desert experience separate.
On day one, start early at Jaisalmer Fort, walk through its narrow lanes, visit Jain temples, stop at fort viewpoints, and continue to Patwon Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ki Haveli before lunch.
What To Know
Spend the evening at Gadisar Lake, then choose a rooftop cafe or local restaurant near the fort.
On day two, keep the morning for Bada Bagh, Kuldhara, or nearby heritage stops, and leave for Sam Sand Dunes by afternoon.
Sunset safari, cultural music, dinner, and a desert camp night complete the trip without rushing.

Useful Travel Tips
Jaisalmer trips work best when you do not overload every hour.
Keep mornings for major sightseeing, afternoons for rest or indoor places, and evenings for sunset points, markets, rooftop meals, cultural programs, or desert experiences.
If you are traveling with family, elders, or children, choose shorter walking routes, reliable transport, clean food stops, and hotels with easy pickup access.
If you are visiting during winter, book popular stays, camps, cabs, and safari slots early because demand rises quickly around holidays and festival dates.
Before You Go
If you are visiting in summer or shoulder season, check weather, keep water with you, and avoid planning open desert activities during harsh afternoon hours.
Always confirm prices, inclusions, pickup times, entry tickets, parking charges, meal details, and cancellation rules before paying for any tour, camp, vehicle, or activity.
Jaisalmer rewards slow travel: leave time for sandstone lanes, local conversations, small shops, photo stops, and unexpected pauses between famous attractions.
