What to pack

Bring layers for evenings, comfortable shoes for sand, sun protection and a bag for your camera.

A simple two-day plan

Set aside a morning for the old city and keep your camp evening open for sunset on the dunes.

Before you leave

Confirm check-in timing, the property map pin and your experience schedule with the camp team.

Day one: the old city, then the desert

Start with a morning walk around Jaisalmer Fort or a haveli visit. Leave a buffer for the journey to camp, check in and choose one main sunset activity. An unhurried itinerary makes it easier to enjoy both places.

Day two: a slow morning and one last stop

Use the morning for tea and camp photos. If your onward travel allows, stop at Gadisar Lake on the way back through the city. Confirm transport the evening before so you can plan your departure.

A short packing list for the Thar

Pack layers, comfortable footwear for sand, sun protection and a small day bag. Ask about the weather for your dates and any footwear or age requirements for the activities you are considering.
