Travel Tip: Jaisalmer
Part of Topic India on the Cheap!

I arrived in Jaisalmer off an overnight train from Bikaner. I first woke up because I was aware the train had stopped, and then I was aware of the group of men staring down at me and shoving business cards under my face. I put on a happy face and tried to sway my traveling companion into doing so... [more]

Jaisalmer Havelis 3 stars

Jaiselmer is a great place to check out Havelis as everything is in walking distance and it is no effort to get to places.

Of the three main Havelis in the fort, my favourite was PATWON KI HAVELI which is actually the biggest and you are allowed up onto the roof.

This place is an absolute must if you stay in Jaisalmer. it has dorms, singels and doubles but the standard does vary from room to room so maybe ask to have a look round first. I stayed in Room 16 which... [more]

Camel Safari 5 stars

Jaisalmer Chapter of Travel Blog: India Unlugged - Touring Rajasthan

Jaisalmer is a good place to arrange a camel safari from.

A word of warning - make sure you check the 'guide to passenger' ratio before you set off as you may be left trodding along on your own (as I was!) The camels are ridiculously chilled out (to the extent that i worried they... [more]

Jaisalmer - Jain Temple 3 stars

Jaisalmer Chapter of Travel Blog: India Unlugged - Touring Rajasthan

There is a tendancy in India to get a bit 'templed out' as there are just so may to choose from. The Jain Temple however is a small, atmospheric one and is definitely worth sticking your head in. There are actually 7 mini temples linked together and covered with intricate carvings.

Having clothes made 4 stars

Jaisalmer Chapter of Travel Blog: India Unlugged - Touring Rajasthan

1 of 1 people found this review helpful

Jaisalmer is a nice place to do some shopping - especially for local clothes. There is an over whelming number of stalls all offering pretty much the same stuff, so it's a good idea to shop around, get a few ideas of prices and then haggle a few deals.

I found a stall close to my... [more]

Little Italy Restaurant 3 stars

Jaisalmer Chapter of Travel Blog: India Unlugged - Touring Rajasthan

1 of 1 people found this review helpful

The name probably gives it away, but this is an Italian restaurant with a difference - the views!

LITTLE ITALY is in a prime location just inside the main gate on the right side so the windows look out over the fort.

Don't be fooled into stopping at one of the... [more]
