Jaisalmer, sleeping outside the fort

The fort by day, a room in the town, and one night on a dune that is not the nearest parking lot.

Written by Dev

Before you go. October to February. A summer dune night is not this notebook.

Overview

Hotels inside the living fort have a water problem. Sleep in town. Go to the dune for the night you came for.

Day 1 — Fort in daylight
Walk the lanes inside the fort. Do not take a room there.
Day 2 — The dune night
Leave after lunch for a camp farther out than the first Sam parking. Camel only if you wanted the camel.
Day 3 — Town and out
Patwon ki Haveli if you have the morning. Then the train.

Stay

A haveli in the town for two nights, plus one camp. The camp was the expensive bed.

Move

One shared seat in. Walk after that. Leave a buffer on the day you go home.
