Overview

Two cities. Two colours. One very Rajasthani story. 🐪

Some places you visit. Rajasthan, you feel — the heat rising off golden sandstone, the jingle of camel bells at sunset, the smell of kachoris frying in an old-city lane, and that moment when a fort appears on the horizon like something out of a storybook.

Jaisalmer & Jodhpur Desert Escape is our five-day, women only tour through the two most magical cities of western Rajasthan — Jaisalmer, the Golden City, and Jodhpur, the Blue City. Forts, havelis, desert dunes, stepwells, bazaars and rooftop views — all with a group of women who’ll feel like old friends by the time you leave.

✨ JAISALMER — THE GOLDEN CITY

We begin at the peaceful Gadisar Lake and the royal cenotaphs of Bada Bagh, glowing gold in the evening light. Then we step inside Jaisalmer Fort — one of the world’s few living forts, where families still live within its walls — and wander its alleys full of patchwork, embroidery and mirror-work. The carved façades of Patwon Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ki Haveli will have you reaching for your camera every few steps.

🏜️ AN EVENING IN THE THAR

As the sun drops, we head out to the Sam Sand Dunes. Take a camel ride across the dunes, go dune-bashing in a Thar, or zip around on an ATV — or simply sit on the sand and watch the sky turn orange. The night ends with a Rajasthani folk music and dance evening at a desert resort.
Golden sand, a desert sunset and folk songs under the stars — this is the Rajasthan you’ve imagined. 🌅

💙 JODHPUR — THE BLUE CITY

From the desert, we drive to Jodhpur and get lost — in the best way — in the blue lanes of Navchowkiya. We visit the beautiful Toorji Ka Jhalra stepwell, shop and snack our way through Sardar Market by the Clock Tower, and end the evening at a rooftop café with the old city glowing below. The next day belongs to royalty: the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, the white-marble Jaswant Thada — the “Taj Mahal of Marwar” — and the temples and cenotaphs of Mandore Garden.

Itinerary

  • Arrival in the Golden City

    Arrival · Gadisar Lake · Bada Bagh · Evening at leisure


    ⛺ TONIGHT’S STAY


    Wind Desert Camp

    — Luxury Desert Camp, Sam Sand Dunes

    Our first of two nights under the desert stars.

  • Jaisalmer Fort · Havelis · Sam Sand Dunes · Desert camp night

    Our second and final night in the desert.

  • Drive to Jodhpur · Blue City walk · Stepwell · Sardar Market

    One last sunrise over the dunes, breakfast at camp — and then we swap gold for blue. 💙

    We check out of the desert camp and leave for Jodhpur at around 8:00 AM. The drive across the Thar takes around 5–6 hours with stops — a chance to watch village life, desert scrub and the odd camel cart roll past the window.


    🚐 ROAD TRIP ACROSS THE THAR

    Music on, chai stops, desert views all the way.
    By the time we reach Jodhpur, the group playlist will be sorted and the inside jokes will have started.

    On arrival, we check into our hotel, freshen up and head straight into the old city.


    💙 TODAY’S BIG MOMENT — LOST IN THE BLUE CITY

    We wander through the narrow lanes of Navchowkiya, where house after house is painted in every shade of blue, with Mehrangarh Fort towering above. Every corner is a photo.
    Next, the beautiful Toorji Ka Jhalra — an 18th-century stepwell with perfectly symmetrical sandstone steps, now surrounded by cafés and boutiques.
    Yesterday, golden dunes. Today, blue lanes. Rajasthan doesn’t do boring. 💙

    As the evening comes alive, we head to the Clock Tower and the buzzing Sardar Market — spices, bandhani, leather juttis, silver and souvenirs. Don’t leave without trying a mirchi vada and a glass of makhaniya lassi.

    We end the day at a rooftop café, with the lit-up fort and the old city glowing below. (Dinner on own.)


    🛏️ TONIGHT’S STAY


    [Jodhpur Hotel Name]

    — 4-Star, Jodhpur

    Our first of two nights in the Blue City.


    👑 TOMORROW

    Royal Jodhpur — the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, the white-marble Jaswant Thada and the gardens of Mandore. 👑

  • Mehrangarh Fort · Jaswant Thada · Mandore Garden

    After breakfast, it’s a royal kind of day — forts, marble and the gardens of Marwar’s old capital. 👑

    We drive up the rocky hill to Mehrangarh Fort — one of the largest and grandest forts in India, rising sheer out of the cliff above the Blue City.


    🏰 TODAY’S BIG MOMENT — MEHRANGARH FORT

    Palaces inside a fort, and the whole Blue City at your feet.
    Walk through its massive gates and grand courtyards, explore the Fort Museum — royal palanquins, armoury, paintings and the mirror-work of Sheesh Mahal — and step out onto the ramparts for sweeping views over the blue houses below.

    Just a short drive away is Jaswant Thada, often called the “Taj Mahal of Marwar” — a white-marble cenotaph built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. The marble is so finely carved it glows in the sunlight, and the quiet gardens and small lake around it make it one of the most peaceful spots in Jodhpur.


    🌿 MANDORE GARDEN — THE OLD CAPITAL

    Before Jodhpur, there was Mandore — the former capital of Marwar. Today its gardens hold soaring red-sandstone cenotaphs of Jodhpur’s rulers, temples, memorials and old architecture surrounded by greenery. A beautiful place to slow down and soak up the history.
    A fort, a marble memorial and a lost capital — Jodhpur saved its best for today. 👑

    We return to the hotel in the afternoon. The evening is yours — rest, do some last-minute shopping in Sardar Market, or find one more rooftop café for a final Rajasthani meal with the group. (Dinner on own.)


    🛏️ TONIGHT’S STAY


    [Jodhpur Hotel Name]

    — 4-Star, Jodhpur

    Our second and final night in the Blue City.


    🌅 TOMORROW

    One last breakfast together before we say goodbye to Rajasthan — and to the women who became your travel family. 💛

  • Breakfast · Airport transfer · Departure

    And just like that, it’s our last morning in Rajasthan. 💛

    Enjoy a slow breakfast at the hotel, take a few last photos together and check out.


    ✈️ GOING HOME

    Group transfer to Jodhpur Airport.
    Our group transfer drops everyone at Jodhpur Airport for flights home. We’ll share the transfer time in advance, so please plan your flight around it. Travelling by train instead? Let us know and we’ll help you plan your way to the station.

    You leave with golden sand still in your shoes, a bag full of bandhani and juttis, a phone full of blue lanes and desert sunsets — and a group of women you didn’t know five days ago.
