Day 3
Delhi / Jaisalmer

After a morning for independent exploration in Delhi, fly to Jodhpur, and continue by car to the desert city of Jaisalmer.

Day 4
Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer is a golden city that rises out of the yellow sands like a mirage. Remote and desert-bound, it lies on the ancient trade route that linked India with the trading centers of Central Asia. Camel caravans laden with precious cargos of spices and silks crossed the dangerous mountain passes of the north and halted in Jaisalmer, bringing it great wealth. Jaisalmer’s princes and merchants displayed their riches in exquisitely carved and ornamented palaces and mansions within the old walled city. Enjoy a full-day tour, visiting the traditional havelis (mansions) of the merchants and the hilltop Golden Fort. The narrow streets of the walled city preserve a traditional way of life as craftsmen still work in the ancient arts, creating beautiful weavings and stone carvings, silver jewelry, and embroidery.

Day 5
Jodhpur

A drive of about 4-5 hours brings you to Jodhpur.

Days 6-13
