What you'll see and do
Jaisalmer
Early in the morning at 9am, you will visit the historic well-preserved Jaisalmer fort, and explore the maze of narrow streets in this open air museum of a city with its ornately decorated havelis of yellow sandstone. The havelis were built by rich merchants at a time when the city was a key stop on the caravan routes from the Middle East. Salim Singh-Ki-Haveli & Patwon-Ki-Haveli are two of these intricate mansions with stone carvings and latticework. Following this visit, head to Gadisar Lake and then take a break for lunch at a great local restaurant. In the evening just before sunset, you will travel to Sam Sand Dunes - 45km (28mi) to see the total sandy bushless desert. On this glorious stretch of sweeping sand dunes, you will enjoy a camel ride and be able to take your favorite picture with a lone camel on a desert track with the setting sun in the backdrop. After a memorable day, you will head back to your hotel in Jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer and Glamping with camel ride
Rachana Heritage Hotel was excellent and their Safron Restaurant was excellent in food variety, quality and service. It was the best we have had on our trip. Jaisalmer is very laid back compared to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. I'm so glad we visited. Each place is completely different. Remember guides and drivers are not representing you when they take you to shops and restaurants. Shopkeepers tell you everything is fixed price which is never true. Your guide will keep quiet because he will get a 40 to 50 % cut! So bargain hard. I do feel violated due to falling for this. It's difficult to believe anything you are told. The desert resort called Exotic Luxury Camp had excellent food, good inclusive entertainment and nice rooms with electric, hot water and very comfortable beds. The camel ride to the sand dunes was fun, but 2 are on each camel.

Family engagement party & touring Rajasthan
Great tour of Jaisalmer & desert camp with guide Bhupendra Singh & driver Lilu Singh. We really enjoyed our tour of the fort in town and the camel ride to the dunes in the desert. The accommodations and food at the Exotic Desert Camp were excellent.

Great tour experience!
Had a great time in Jaisalmer thanks to Nikita Holiday Agra. We had a great tour of the fort (with lots of history knowledge being shared) and a good buffet lunch. After some downtime, we rode out into the sand dunes for a camel ride. Highly suggest doing this tour, especially if you're only here a short time!

We are very happy to achieve our goal and try to give the best services. Our hardworking team always keeps in mind the guest satisfaction as the first priority.

We had a fabulous tour with Mr...
<p>We had a fabulous tour with Mr Ghanshyam. He was very knowledgeable and had interesting local insights to the city and made the tour very entertaining. His sense of humor and warmth added that extra bit to make the experience exceptional. Going with a local, we were introduced to the little secrets of the city - fantastic makhani, a fabulous silver shop tucked away in a non-descript alley with some of the finest handwork and exquisite pieces of jewellery, a fantastic antique store which was a museum by itself, textiles from a lovely shop inside a massive haveli which we would never have found out walking down the lane .... fabulous walks down narrow lanes opening into squares with no prior indications somewhat like one would find in Europe in cities like Venice, a walk through the narrow lanes inside the fort giving a great view into life in the fort. He also took us to the studio of the last remaining family that does miniature paintings. The gentleman has held over 9 international exhibitions of his works in Australia etc. - worth viewing his works. Thanks to Viator, we got a very intimate view into Jaisalmer and saw places which only locals could help you discover. Very good tour and totally recommended - do ask for Mr. Ghanshyam!</p>

<p>The tour and trip to the dessert was amazing and unforgetable, even with the long walk around the city under the hot blazing sun. The trip to the dessert was unforgetable. Our guide Mr. Ghanshyam Singh was very knowledgeable about the city and region's history. Overall the tour was above expectation</p>

Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaisalmer.
How much does Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaisalmer usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaisalmer is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaisalmer, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaisalmer can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaisalmer and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day City Tour of Jaisalmer visit Fort, Havelis and Camel Ride start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaisalmer within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jaisalmer?
+
On Outty we rank every Jaisalmer experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Overnight Camel Safari - Sleeping under the Stars, Adventure non touristic camel safari, Overnight Desert Safari Tour Package. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jaisalmer?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jaisalmer?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
