A focused three-night trip to the Golden City of Jaisalmer, pairing two nights in the heritage fort area with a premium desert camp night at Sam Dunes. It suits travellers who want a concentrated dose of Thar Desert romance, and times beautifully with the February Desert Festival.

Expect the living Jaisalmer Fort, the carved Patwon ki Haveli, a Sam Sand Dunes camel safari, a cultural performance at the desert camp and sunset dune bashing. The pace is relaxed and atmospheric.
