Thar Desert
Desert landscapes and western Rajasthan atmosphere.
A western Rajasthan route for travellers who want desert heritage beyond only Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.
The journey moves from Jaipur into Bikaner, then deeper west to Jaisalmer before finishing in Jodhpur.
It creates a stronger sense of how Rajasthan’s desert cities differ from one another rather than treating western Rajasthan as one repeated experience.

Suggested nights are a starting point. We adjust them around your dates, interests and pace.

The longer road sectors are worthwhile when desert landscapes and heritage towns are an important part of your Rajasthan plan.
Western Rajasthan needs enough time for the longer sectors between Jodhpur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer.
The cooler months are much more suitable for desert sightseeing and outdoor time.
Forts, havelis, old-city streets, desert landscapes and photography opportunities define this route.
The route rewards travellers who do not mind spending more time moving through western Rajasthan.
