Tailor-made Rajasthan journey
What this Rajasthan tour can include
Five days give Jodhpur and Jaisalmer two meaningful bases with a realistic road transfer between them. The plan combines forts and old cities with one carefully selected desert experience rather than treating Jaisalmer as a same-day excursion.
Recommended destinations
Jodhpur, optional Osian, Jaisalmer city and a selected desert camp area
A practical route
Start in Jodhpur, drive west through Dechu and Pokaran, then keep separate time for Jaisalmer city and the desert. The route can run in reverse according to confirmed flights or trains.
