In a nutshell
It should be THE must of your India trip!
Biscotte Says: Only 2 places to go for great jewellery shopping. Jewel Caravan in Sadar Bazaar and Hari Om jewellery inside the fort's palace. Jewel Caravan has the best choice (and really nice tribal jewellery and tibetan jewellery) and reasonable prices. Hari Om has lovely custom...
krescent78 Says: Especially for every Indian, the Indo-Pak border is an emotional thing. A must visit. Would suggest first going to Longewala - the scene of the epic 1971 battle. Then go to Tanot mata temple - one of the most revered temple on the western border. Take a permission from the...
Liatris1 Says: A very nice experience!The camel-safari-guys guided us through deserted towns, past wells, bush land and sand dunes. They made us chai and food. And this was actually the first time I tasted pakora. I loved it!It was really nice to sleep under the stars in the desert, but it...
toonhut Says: If you like many decide to stay overnight at the dunes, or even go for a sunset trip, there are a lot of people who provide these services. After much searching, the arrangements made by Swastika Hotel fit best.Sunset viewing, camel-thing, and return per person from Sam...

Trio Restuarant: Good Food, Music & Ambiance
lynnehamman Says: The tent-roofed Trio restuarant was a real surpise. We ate all our meals there, and it was always crowded. It has indoor eating area area, and an outdoor one, which was more popular. Table s had bright red tablecloths, and seating was comfortable. Service is quick, but...
The results are in.: Trio vs. Desert Boy Dhani
toonhut Says: So many people and sources have given Trio exultant reviews and a some for Desert Boy too. Although it might not be fair to compare but if I had to choose one, it would be Desert Boy!Both have excellent views of the fort; Trio from the roof, Desert Boy from its garden. What...
alexandria08 Says: I had spent the night in the Sam desert, in a mud hut and then in a Swiss Tent. I must say it is one of the best experiences of my life. The mud huts and the Swiss Tents both have all the necessary washroom/ toilet facilities and electricity as well. But the best part is it...
toonhut Says: If after your overnight stay in the dunes you suddenly notice a sense of invincibility come over you, why not return back to town seated on the thin back door beam of an open, crowded, zipping, taxi pickup truck. It will be unforgettable, if nothing else. Be sure to have...
lynnehamman Says: Jaisalmer can be reached quite easily from Jodhpur by bus, train or hire carWe had a car & driver, and the trip took about 4.5 hours. We left Jodhpur at 7.30 am and reached Jaisalmer in time for lunch. The road is not too bad- although it usually has a strange assortment of...
Jewel Caravan: Jewellery shopping
Biscotte Says: Incredible choice. Their collection is unbelievable. My personal favorite was the tibetan jewellery collection. But you can also find lovely Rajasthani silver tribal jewellery. They also have more classical pieces, mostly in silver with or without gemstones. Prices are...
JAI Shankar Handicrafts: Shop for the Amazing Embroideries
Waxbag Says: The embroideries in the South-Western region of Rajasthan are amazing. Traditional wedding dresses, opium bags, and dowery bags come from the desert villages and are then sewen together to make magnificant wall hangings. The villagers are selling their heirlooms for hard...
toonhut Says: I've been searching for SO long in so many cities for something like this and found it when I least expected it.This store has an amazing collection of gorgeous stones of all kinds -- onyx, jasper, aquamarine, quartz, sandstone, aventurine, etc. They are in several colors...
toonhut Says: Might not seem like much of a warning but just to keep in mind. Although all towns that have the original old markets (the original ''inner town'' I suppose) have narrow lanes that all vehicles, people, and animals negotiate through, Jaisalmer's is different. It's old market...
Sam Sand Dunes - DON'T expect much
krescent78 Says: The Sam sand dunes are made out to be these amazing sand dunes which will make you feel like you are in the middle of the sahara desert. But it's far from it. Also, don't waste any money on taking a camel ride to the place. From all the tent accomodations there, or from the...
alexandria08 Says: Its necessary to carry a pair of sunglasses and sunscreen lotion. Additionally, I managed well with a Rajasthani 'Bandhni' dupatta or scarf. It gave me the traditional look as well saved me from the sun. Even in Jan-Feb, the days can be real hot. But then the nights are...
RAJASTHANBYCAR Says: Drive 18 km west of Jaisalmer and you will come upon the village of Kuldhara.Looks like the royalty of Rajasthan had made an art of killing the geese that laid golden eggs for them.The ruins of Kuldhara exhibit the architectural, excellence of those times, which was buried...
satchmo1963 Says: Somewhere in the middle of the main market of Jaisalmer, below the fort, you will find Bhatia News Agency. If you are approaching the fort gate from Hanuman Chowk, you will find this shop on your right.Don't be put off by the glitzy magazines and cheap vernacular `how to'...
