This breathtaking fort is a sight to admire with a massive sandcastle rising from the sand like an oasis in the desert. It is charming, owing to the mystery of the desert and was covered with several pillars that are menacing yet beautiful.

Ninety-nine bastions circumference the fort’s still and inhabitant roads and lanes. Inside are shops swamped with bright embroideries, a gigantic palace from India’s gregarious Rajput past and several indigenous businesses.

Despite the rampant exhibition of commercial art, it is hard to miss the compelling presence of the desert citadel. Beneath the ramparts, near the north, the twisted lanes of this old civilization conceal magnificent havelis and gharanas, all sculpted from the same golden sandstone just like the fort – hence Jaisalmer’s familiar beloved name as the Golden City.

2. Patwon Ki Haveli

The Patwon ki Haveli is among the most famous architectural creations of Rajasthan; this is so because of two reasons. First being that it was the first ever haveli built in Jaisalmer and secondly, it does not stand alone but is an elegant complex of five different beautiful havelis.

Guman Chand Patwa commissioned the building of these Havelis in the early nineteenth century. He could afford the extravagance and thus instructed the construction of five more stories for his five sons, which took him around fifty years to build.

Overall, the havelis were constructed across the expanse of the last sixty years of the nineteenth century. This Royal family dealt in strands of gold and silver used in embroidering dresses, jewelry, and fabric. Besides, there are several stories and theories by historians that indicate the possibility of opium smuggling and money laundering as an occupation of the rulers in the area.

It is among the largest Havelis in Jaisalmer and currently occupied by the government of India. The Archaeological Survey of India and the state’s Art and Craft Department is situated within the premises. The Haveli is a spectacle to behold, and thus one must not miss the chance to visit it.

Kuldhara is an abandoned village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. It was established in the nineteenth century, and many suggest that the settlements had to disperse and evacuate because of disturbances like floods and earthquakes. Such theories and the paranoia of the local people have made it one of the most famous haunted sites in India.

Over the years, the spot has developed the reputation of a haunted location and it was only recently that the government decided to revamp it as a tourist spot. Take time to visit the famous and explored places and spend some quality time with your loved ones or even alone, debunking the ancient myths of a city as old as Jaisalmer.

The arid, desert landscape around Jaisalmer is punctuated by pagodas, built from the local golden sandstone, on the cremation sites of the wealthy and powerful.

1. Jaisalmer Fort

Jaisalmer Fort is nestled in the laps of Thar Desert. This rich fort is unique in the sense that it’s not just a fort but a small settlement of houses, temples, shops, and restaurants. This magnificent fort was built in 1156 by Bhati Rajput ruler, Rao Jaisal.

The fort is 450 meters tall from where you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Jaisalmer city. Don’t forget to photograph the city which looks golden thanks to the houses and complexes made of yellow sandstone! 

Jaisalmer Fort is one of the largest forts of the world and is also known as “Sonar Qila” after Satyajit Ray shot a movie here of the same name. This massive building depicts some of the most impressive aesthetics of Rajasthani architecture. The fort is walled on all sides by massive battlements and several entrances.

The fort looks especially breathtaking during sunset with the sand lending a golden hue to the building. You should take a walk along the narrow lanes inside the walls to shop for souvenirs, handicraft items and ethnic ornaments!

Must see : The main attraction of the fort is Maharawal Palace, which houses a majestic marble throne. Tazia Tower is located right opposite to Maharawal Palace and is a must visit site too. Jawahar Palace is a major attraction too with its impressive architecture and inlay works!

2. Patwon ki Haveli

Next on the one day Jaisalmer city tour is the Patwon ki Haveli , which was the first haveli to have been made in Jaisalmer and over the years, has rightfully emerged as an important tourist attraction.

Patwon ki Haveli is a cluster of five havelis which was built by the wealthy business family of the Patwas. One haveli each was made for every son and the haveli was completed over a span of sixty years in the 19th century. 

The complexity of the haveli’s architecture lies in its opulent wall paintings, balconies, gateways, arches and mirror works on the walls. You may also know the haveli as the “Mansion of the Brocade Merchant” for the Patwas traded brocade. Patwon ki Haveli is also infamous for being the hub of golden thread dealers and opium traders smuggling their goods!

The Haveli is a proud testament to the grandeur of the Rajasthani lifestyle. The paintings and artifacts inside the haveli depict the luxurious life of its residents. Decorated with over sixty balconies, countless pillars and miniature works, Patwon ki Haveli is an attraction that you must not miss out on.

Must see : Check out the impressive art pieces displayed at the State Art and Craft Museum that is located inside the haveli.

3. Maharaja’s Palace

Maharaja’s Palace is located inside the Jaisalmer Fort complex and one of the most popular places on our one day Jaisalmer sightseeing tour. This monument is a small but absolutely fascinating destination with a lot to see and photograph!

The exquisite details and architectural marvels of the palace lie in its beautifully built windows, pillars and courtyards. The top most floor of the palace offers a great view of the city and the Thar Desert! While visiting the Maharaja’s Palace you must also see the marble throne of the emperor and other pieces of significance such as the silver coronation throne, the royal bed, stamps, banknotes and sculptures. Visit Maharaja’s Palace early in the day to avoid peak hour rush.

Must do : Photograph the panoramic views of Jaisalmer, the sunset and the desert from the top floor of the palace!

4. Vyas Chhatri

Vyas Chhatri is a beautiful assemblage of chhatris made of golden sandstone built in the typical style of Rajasthani architecture. Vyas Chhatri was built in the honor of sage Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata. Vyas Chhatri is located on the northwestern edge of Jaisalmer town. It is situated within a Brahmin cemetery where lies the burial grounds of kings.

This site is maintained by the royal family of Jaisalmer. The carvings and the raised dome-shaped platforms are a sight for sore eyes. Vyas Chhatri is also a great place to picnic, view the sunset, photograph and admire some really beautiful architecture!

Must See : This beautiful destination also doubles up as the city’s most beloved sunset point and a viewpoint from where you will get a bird’s eye view of Jaisalmer.

5. Nathmal Ji ki Haveli

Nathmal Ji ki Haveli is a beautiful ornate architecture located in the very heart of the beautiful city of Jaisalmer and we will be covering this point in the latter part of the one day Jaisalmer sightseeing tour.

The Haveli was built as the residence of the former prime minister of the kingdom, Diwan Mohata Nathmal. The exquisite exteriors are adorned with beautiful carvings and virtuoso work where two elephants made of limestone guard the entryway to the haveli.

Don’t forget to see the extraordinary paintings made of gold leaves and carvings on the wall. Nathmal Ji ki Haveli displays the confluence of the Islamic and Rajput style of architecture. The construction of this haveli started from two points at the same time and confluence at one point which makes the structure look so unique!

Must see : The paintings inside the haveli depict modern amenities such as cars and fans that architects had never seen but painted from the descriptions of those who had encountered these facilities in faraway lands!

6. Kuldhara Abandoned Village

Last up on the one day Jaisalmer traveling tour is an offbeat location. The abandoned village of Kuldhara is located about 20 kilometers from Jaisalmer. The village is famous for its legends and myths and is said to be haunted. The abandoned village sits solitary amidst the barren stretches of the Thar Desert. 

Stories of ghostly and paranormal activities in and around the village have been reported, although there’s no proof of any of it. Nevertheless, Kuldhara is an interesting place to visit if you are interested in the paranormal!

Legends say that the residents of the villages abandoned their homes overnight and fled to other places to save their honor and lives from the tyrannical hands of Salim Singh who was slowly starving the village to death with exorbitant taxes. 

There’s not as much to see at Kuldhara village but the eeriness of the place is sure to enthrall you, and you will be glad to have visited a lesser known tourist attraction in Jaisalmer!

Must see : There is a small, abandoned temple dedicated to a local goddess inside the village which is quite an interesting place to visit!

A short vacation to the Golden City with friends and family is a great way to learn more about Rajasthani culture, enjoy the sights and sounds of a new city, and get back home with a bag full of souvenirs and cherished memories!

Jaisalmer Itinerary for 2 Days & Complete Jaisalmer Travel Guide

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. I earn from any qualifying purchases, at no additional cost to you.

This post contains a Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days, in addition to a complete Jaisalmer travel guide.

Jaisalmer, also known as the golden city, is located in Rajasthan, India. This city has been termed as the golden city due to the houses and the famous Jaisalmer fort here which have been constructed using yellow sandstone as well as yellow sand, giving them a yellowish golden appearance. If you look at the city from a height, Jaisalmer will appear golden in color, thus crowning it with the name golden city of India. Located in the far western end of India, Jaisalmer’s proximity to the Thar desert makes it a popular tourist destination for those who wish to experience a camel safari or a jeep safari in the desert. Jaisalmer was named after the Rajput King Jaisal Singh who founded the city in 1156 AD. Besides this 2 day Jaisalmer itinerary, if you're want to see more pictures of my trip to Rajasthan, then head over to my Instagram profile ( @thespicyjourney ).

Most people who visit Rajasthan often head straight away to the popular cities such as Jaipur - the pink city and Udaipur - the city of Lakes. While both these cities are popular for good reason such as the stunning culture, architecture and the monuments, Jaisalmer is often overlooked by tourists. The golden city deserves for credit for sure and this article is sure to convince you to visit this desert city.

Jaisalmer Travel Guide & Jaisalmer Itinerary for 2 Days

This Jaisalmer travel guide + Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days focuses on the many enriching experiences that one can enjoy in the golden city of India. While the sprawling Jaisalmer fort marks the iconic landscape of Jaisalmer city, there’s a long list of things to do in Jaisalmer, which not only includes exploring the many temples and sites inside the Jaisalmer fort but a lot more than that. Despite its slightly offbeat location, Jaisalmer is among the top places to visit in Rajasthan, India.

Best Time to Visit Jaisalmer Rajasthan

• Summer (April - June): Since Jaisalmer is situated in the Thar desert, it can get unbearing hot during the summer. It’s best to avoid visiting Jaisalmer during this season.
• Monsoon (July - September): While the monsoon months from July to September bring relief from the heat but the downpours can be cumbersome and the streets may be muddy during this time of the year.
• Winter (October - March): The winter months are a good time to visit Jaisalmer, especially October-November as well as February-March when the weather is pleasant with it being neither too hot nor too cold. This is the best time to visit Jaisalmer golden city.

How to Reach Jaisalmer, the Golden City

Nearest airport to jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer doesn’t have an airport but the Jodhpur airport is the closest airport to Jaisalmer, located roughly 300 km away. You can take a cab from Jodhpur airport to Jaisalmer. Alternatively, you could even take a local train or bus from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer which is a much cheaper option.

Nearest Railway Station to Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer has a railway station called the Jaisalmer Railway Station (JSM) which is well connected to nearby cities within Rajasthan as well as other major cities in India.

Delhi to Jaisalmer

The distance of 766 km between Delhi and Jaisalmer is 585 km and can be covered by road in 12-14 hours or by a direct train in 17 hours. Alternatively, there are flights available from Delhi to Jodhpur and the rest of the journey from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer can be covered by rail or road.

Jodhpur to Jaisalmer

The distance from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer is roughly less than 300 km which can be covered by road or rail. There are Rajasthan state transport buses plying between the two cities. Apart from this, there are comfortable private AC buses running between the cities as well. Moreover, there are direct trains for Jodhpur to Jaisalmer and vice-versa. While one can hire private cabs, it's a faster but much more expensive option compared to taking a bus or train.

Getting Around Jaisalmer

Even though most of the sightseeing places in Jaisalmer lie within walking distance of the Jaisalmer fort, you will need to hire a cab or auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) to explore some of the places to visit in Jaisalmer which lie just outside the city. There are lots of tour guides and tour companies which offer good rates on half-day or full-day tours of the sightseeing places which lie just outside Jaisalmer.

Where to Stay in Jaisalmer

Zostel jaisalmer.

View from the rooftop at Zostel Jaisalmer

I cannot put into words how wonderful my stay at Zostel Jaisalmer was. Zostel Jaisalmer is located inside the Jaisalmer fort. While that in itself may sound amazing, the property is absolutely beautiful, decorated tastefully using traditional Rajasthani fabrics and decor items. The cherry on top though is the rooftop that has comfortable seating overlooking the entire city. Zostel Jaisalmer has dorms as well as private rooms, multiple common rooms, and an in-house cafe. They also organize lots of activities that include walks inside the fort, food walks, and desert safari.

Check Availability at Zostel Jaisalmer on Booking.com

Moustache Jaisalmer

Moustache Jaisalmer is yet another one of the wonderful places to stay in Jaisalmer. Even though this hostel is located just outside the Jaisalmer fort, unlike Zostel which is inside the fort, it is located within walking distance from the fort. What I loved about Moustache Jaisalmer was the open verandah right in the center, giving it a very traditional appearance. There are comfortable cushions around this verandah. That, along with the intricately carved walls and the availability of both private rooms as well as dorm rooms make Moustache Jaisalmer one of the best places to stay in Jaisalmer.

Check Availability at Moustache Jaisalmer on Booking.com

Hotels in Jaisalmer Inside Jailsamer Fort

When it comes to finding hotels in Jaisalmer, I strongly recommend getting a hotel inside the Jaisalmer fort. Even if you don’t manage to do that, there are tons of hotels near the Jaisalmer fort. Since the fort by itself contains a lot of sightseeing places and is close to all the other places to visit in Jaisalmer, it’s best to stay close to the fort. This way you can just walk to the nearby spots without having to hire a tuk-tuk.

Jaisalmer Itinerary - Best Places to Visit in Jaisalmer in 2 Days

Day 1 of jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days.

Spend your first day in Jaisalmer by exploring all the sightseeing places in and around the Jaisalmer fort and by shopping for souvenirs. 

1. Patwon ki Haveli / Patwa Haveli

Patwon ki haveli or Patwa haveli is the first stop among all the places to visit in Jaisalmer in 2 days. This haveli, or traditional mansion, is one of the three major havelis in Jaisalmer and thus cannot be skipped out of your Jaisalmer itinerary. Patwon ki haveli is a cluster of 5 mansions constructed in the year 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa, a wealthy trader, one for each of his five sons. Today, there is a museum inside the haveli and it’s also open for visitors to walk around and take a tour of the haveli, with or without a guide. 

Open all days 8.30 am to 6.40 pm

2. Jaisalmer Fort - Unmissable Place in any Jaisalmer Itinerary

Jaisalmer fort, named after the Maharajah Maharawal Jaisal, is made up of yellow sandstone and thus also known as the golden fort or sonar qila . This spectacular fort has a fortification wall that is 5 km in circumference and 2-3 m in thickness. Not only that, but Jaisalmer fort is also one of the very few “living” forts in the world where people actually reside inside the fort. That’s right - there’s a whole bustling community along with sightseeing places inside the fort as well as temples and lots of shops and restaurants. Entry to the fort is free but some of the sightseeing spots may charge their own visiting fee.

3. Jain Temple

The set of Jain temples is one of the must-visit places inside the Jaisalmer fort. Apart from the elaborate carvings, what’s most impressive is that this cluster of 7 Jain temples contains a combined total of 6666 statues of the 24 prophets of Jainism. Additionally, if you add 6+6+6+6 it gives you the number 24 -  which is the number of prophets in the Jain religion. Apart from this clever play with numbers, the detailed work inside these temples is very impressive. 

Open all days 8 to 12 pm

4. Canon Point

Canon point is one of the open-air areas inside the Jaisalmer fort from where you can get an epic city view. Since the fort itself is at a height and the canon point is further high up inside the fort, you can get a nice panoramic view of Jaisalmer city from here. While canon point is also known as sunset point, I found that the sunset view from inside the Zostel Jaisalmer rooftop, where I stayed at, was much better since there was no crowd and there was comfortable seating to enjoy the sunset. Canon point can often get a little crowded.

5. Eat at One of the Many Restaurants Inside the Jaisalmer Fort

While this may seem very trivial and unimportant to some, I cannot stress how important it is that you include a meal inside the Jaisalmer fort in your Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days. I visited a restaurant right inside the main entrance of the fort for lunch. While I felt that the food was a tad bit overpriced for the taste and quantity that was provided, the view from there was worth every single rupee! Jaisal Italy was the only restaurant inside the Jaisalmer fort that I visited for both lunch and dinner because I fell in love with the view from here, although I found the taste of the food to be quite average for the price.

6. Shopping in Jaisalmer Fort

Finish off day one of your Jaisalmer itinerary by shopping for clothing, jewelry, home decor items, and souvenirs. As you step inside the Jaisalmer, you’ll see countless lanes lines with small and big shops on both sides. I would avoid the bigger shops, as I felt the prices there were higher compared to other shops for the exact same items. I would suggest walking right inside the fort, near the museum and the Jain temple area and checking out the many shops there.

DAY 2 OF JAISALMER ITINERARY FOR 2 DAYS

You will start your second day in Jaisalmer, golden city, by watching an epic sunrise and going for a desert safari in the sam sand dunes of the Thar desert.

1. Gadisar Lake

Start the second day of your Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days by catching the sunrise at Gadisar lake. The lake is located less than a kilometer from the fort so I walked from the fort, where I was staying, to Gadisar or Gadisagar lake. Apart from a couple of elderly people, who were taking a morning stroll around the perimeter of the lake, the place was completely deserted. And so, not only did I get to watch a spectacular sunrise, but I also got fantastic pictures here with no one in sight. There are boats here for visitors to take a boating tour around the lake but it wasn’t open that early in the morning

2. Kuldhara - The Abandoned Village

Kuldhara, also known as the abandoned village or cursed village, is located at a distance of 21 km from Jaisalmer. Once inhabited by the Paliwal Brahmins, it is believed that the village was abandoned overnight in the early 19th century due to plague, drought, and prosecution by a cruel minister. Now visitors can visit Kuldhara village during the daytime hours. There is no entrance fee for visiting Kuldhara. You can stop by the village before heading to the sam sand dunes for a desert safari.

3. Desert Oasis

I had visited both Kuldhara village and a desert oasis on a desert safari tour. Our guide took my tour group to both these places on the way to the desert. The oasis inside the desert was located off of the main road between Kuldhara and the sam sand dunes. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place to just sit and mingle with the rest of the people on the safari tour with me.

4. Desert Safari

A desert safari is by far one of the best things to do in Jaisalmer. You just cannot miss this experience among all the things to do in your Jaisalmer itinerary for 2 days. I booked a desert safari costing INR 1900 via Zostel Jaisalmer, where I was staying. The safari included a jeep ride to Kuldhara village, going via the desert oasis to the sam sand dunes in the Thar desert. A camel ride, evening snacks, evening tea, a local vegetarian dinner, overnight stay inside a tent (or under the open sky on a cot), breakfast the next morning and a ride back were also included. While most people choose to stay in the desert overnight, in case you need to head back to your hotel on the same night, you can even ask to be dropped back right after dinner.

Food to Try in Jaisalmer

You must try the two famous local specialties - the Jaisalmer or Rajasthani thali as well as daal baati churma while you’re in Jaisalmer. Ask your hotel or hostel for recommendations for the best places where you can try them.

Where to Eat in Jaisalmer - Best Restaurants and Cafes in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

As mentioned earlier, I highly recommend eating at least one meal at a restaurant inside the Jaisalmer fort. I had lunch and dinner at Jaisal Italy, which is right at the main entrance of the fort. Additionally, I also liked the view of the Jain temple from the Jaisalmer Oasis Restaurant, which is also inside the fort, right next to Zostel Jaisalmer.

The best time to visit Jaisalmer

By Aishwarya Venkatraman

Beyond palaces and forts, the city of gold has a lot to offer—the best Rajasthani thalis, camel rides on silky dunes and boating along the Gadsisar Sagar Lake. However, to explore Jaisalmer’s gems, the weather has to be in your favour. While the winters in Jaisalmer are pleasant and perfect to explore, the summers can be unforgiving. Here’s a handy guide on the best time to visit Jaisalmer.

Jump to What is the best time to visit Jaisalmer? Temperature throughout the year When is the off season in Jaisalmer? How many days are enough for a trip to Jaisalmer? Best time to visit Jaisalmer for the Jaisalmer Desert Festival How to reach Jaisalmer? Plan your stay

What is the best time to visit Jaisalmer?

The best time to visit Jaisalmer is during the winter months, from October to March . This is the best time to avoid the scorching heat of the summer. Winter is the ideal season for tourists , as it provides favourable conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activities such as desert safaris and camel rides. With pleasant daytime temperatures and cooler evenings, travellers can enjoy all the attractions Jaisalmer has to offer.

Between August and September, Jaisalmer experiences a brief monsoon season, although it is relatively sparse. The minimal precipitation only adds to the already humid conditions, impacting the overall experience.

Temperature throughout the year

October to December: 22°C - 26°C January to March: 9°C - 18°C April to July: 23°C - 38°C August to September: 26°C - 37°C

When is the off season in Jaisalmer?

Summer in Jaisalmer, spanning from April to August , makes it difficult for travellers to explore the region. The temperatures around this time of the year soar above 40 degrees Celsius. Despite the conditions, budget-conscious travellers may find discounted accommodations and travel services during this period. However, coping with the extreme temperatures requires precautionary measures such as wearing light cotton clothing, applying sunscreen, and staying hydrated.

How many days are enough for a trip to Jaisalmer?

A three-four day trip to Jaisalmer allows you to explore the history, culture, and natural wonders. Start your day by visiting the Jaisalmer Fort and its surrounding temples. Go on to explore Jaisalmer’s many havelis like Patwon ki Haveli and Salim Singh ki Haveli that showcase exquisite craftsmanship. Get some downtime at Gadsisar Sagar Lake before delving into the city's heritage at the Desert Culture Center and Museum . When the sun is about to set, don't miss the chance to experience the enchanting Thar Desert with camel rides at the Sam Sand Dunes and Khuri village.

Jaisalmer's local markets stand out as top attractions, offering a vibrant showcase of Rajasthan's cultural richness. From intricate stonework to colorful leheriya and bandhani clothing, along with a variety of turbans and locally crafted goods, these markets are a treasure trove of cultural delights. Shop for leather goods, scarves, silver jewelry, home decor, and puppets (katputli) to take home as souvenirs or gifts, ensuring visitors leave with bags filled with unique finds that embody the essence of Rajasthan . Some of the most notable bazaars are Manak Chowk, Pansari Bazar, Seema Gram, and Sonaron Ka Bazar.

Best time to visit Jaisalmer for the Jaisalmer Desert Festival

Every year in lateFebruary, the Jaisalmer Desert Festival showcases music, dance, and cultural acts against the backdrop of the magnificent Jaisalmer Fort. Adorned in colourful attire, locals celebrate Rajasthan's rich heritage with snake charmers, puppeteers, and folk performances.

How to reach Jaisalmer?

To reach Jaisalmer, you can opt for direct flights from cities like Delhi, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad and Mumbai to the Jaisalmer airport. Direct flights from Mumbai to Jaisalmer are only operational from October to March. The other option is to fly to Jodhpur, which is about a 4.5 hours drive to Jaisalmer, while Udaipur is 8.5 hours. The train system also connects Jaisalmer with cities like Delhi, Jaipur, and Jodhpur.

Day 1: Fly from Mumbai to Jaislamer ( I see indigo has direct flights ) Explore Jaisalmer

Day 2: Day trip to sand dunes and camel safari

Day 3: Drive to Jodhpur and explore Jodhpur and ON in Jodhpur

Day 4: Drive to udaipur and stop at ranakpur on the way - ON in Udaipur

Day 5: Explore Udaipur

Day 6: Fly to Jaipur and explore and ON in Jaipur

Day 7: Fly to Agra and Taj and ON in Agra

Day 8: fly to mumbai

I would like to skip Jodhpur and spend an extra day in Udaipur to allow excursions to Abu or other places... But I don't think this is feasible based on flight schedules. Any thoughts /ideas? Also trying to limit the number of different hotels we have to stay in.

Is the road from jaisalmer to jodhpur in good condition? How long is the drive ?

Said with all the love in the world, your propsed itinerary is nuts.

// Also trying to limit the number of different hotels we have to stay in. //

Stop moving so much. You'll be exhausted. Eight days - select 3 cities - and that includes the city you land in.

// flight schedules. //

Unless you fly at night, any time saving which a flight seems to offer is an illusion on short haul flights in India. When you factor in the time to get to and from the airport, and needing to be at the airport at least 2 hours in advance you are much better placed driving; or better still - take an overnight train.

// Day 3: Drive to Jodhpur and explore Jodhpur //

You will have no time to "explore Jodhpur".

// Drive to udaipur and stop at ranakpur on the way //

And presumably at Kumbhalgarh .

// But I don't think this is feasible //

The whole plan doesn't work because you have too many places in too few days.

// Any thoughts /ideas? //

As I say, pick three cities inclusive of your arrival city, and see them. Stop moving every day. If you insist on flying into Mumbai , see central India. If you want to see Rajasthan then you should fly into Delhi.

//How long is the drive ?//

Plan for 6 hours, hope for five.

Caveat: You should now anticipate a flock of Indian-based travel agents who will assure you that your plan is perfect and to "contact the experts" to seek quotes.

your plan is perfect, "contact the experts" to seek quotes

Instead of taking flight from Udaipur to Jaipur, you can stay overnight in Pushkar to break the long journey between udaipur to jaipur.

The following is my suggestion :

Short Plan :

Day 01 Arrive Jaisalmer & camel safari. Overnight stay in desert.

Day 02 Jaisalmer - City tour

Day 03 Jaisalmer - Jodhpur ( Approx 05-06 Hours' drive)

Day 04 Jodhpur - Ranakpur - Udaipur ( Approx 06 Hours' drive)

Day 05 Udaipur - visit

Day 06 Udaipur- Chittorgarh - Jaipur ( Approx 06 hours' drive)

Day 07 Visit Jaipur- Visit & Jaipur -Fatehpur Sikri- Agra ( Approx 06 hours' drive)

Day 08 Agra - visit & fly to Mumbai

Day 08 - Should not be Friday, as Taj Mahal is closed.

If possible, Fly Mumbai from Delhi with Vistara or Air India .

If Agra to Mumbai flight goes cancelled or reschedule then no alternate flight to go to Mumbai.

It would be better if you can allocate at least 02 more days to see Mount Abu & extra night in Jaipur.

Crabtree India Travels

IMO you want to cover too many destinations.

Ask your children if they really want to see the Taj, give the extra travel time. If you skip Agra this itinerary may work for you.

Fly from Mumbai to Jaisalmer , next by plane or train to Jaipur . From Jaipur take the overnight train to Udaipur , see https://erail.in/trains-between-stations/jaipur-JP/udaipur-city-UDZ

Namaste Traveler,

To avoid touch and run situation, to understand the history and enjoy the complete destination you can sequence the route and destination as follows

Day 01: Arrive Jaisalmer and depart for dunes to stay overnight in tents

Day 02: Jaisalmer city sightseeing, overnight at Jaisalmer

Day 03: Jaisalmer to Jodhpur

Day 04: Jodhpur to Jaipur

Day 05: Jaipur

Day 06: Jaipur - Abhaneri - Fatehpur Sikri - Agra

Day 07: Agra to Delhi

Day 08: Delhi local and fly back to Mumbai

Arrive Udaipur - stay for 03 nights (do visit Kumbhalgarh)

Udaipur to Jodhpur - stay for 02 nights (Visit Osian to enjoy the camel safari and desert experience and can visit the Bishnoi village safari to experience the rural life and interaction with local families)

Jodhpur to Jaisalmer - stay for 02 nights (one in tents at dunes and other in the city of Jaisalmer)

Day 08: Jaisalmer to Mumbai flight
