Important Notes for Jaisalmer – The Desert City of Rajasthan

• Light cotton clothing is best for the desert – Days can be warm even in winter, so breathable fabrics will keep you most comfortable while exploring.
• Evenings in the desert can get cool – Pack a shawl or light jacket for evenings at the sand dunes, especially between October and February.
• Wear comfortable footwear for walking – The fort area and markets involve walking on uneven paths, so closed shoes or sandals with grip are ideal.
• Sun protection is important –  Carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to stay protected during the day’s excursions.
• Carry some cash for local shopping – Small markets and craft stalls may not accept cards or digital payments, so keep some Indian currency handy.
• Keep your ID card accessible – Some monuments may require an ID at entry, so it’s best to keep a copy or original easily reachable.
• Respect the silence of religious sites – Inside Jain temples and heritage spots, maintain quiet and dress modestly as a sign of respect.
• Drink only bottled water – Stay hydrated, especially after desert visits, but make sure the water is sealed and from a trusted source.
• Tipping is welcome but optional – If you are happy with the service, a small tip for your guide or driver is always appreciated.

Best Time to Visit Jaisalmer – The Desert City of Rajasthan

October to February – Ideal for Comfortable Exploration

The winter season is considered the best time to plan a Jaisalmer holiday package. With temperatures ranging between 10 to 25 degrees Celsius, the weather is ideal for sightseeing, camel rides, and visiting historic sites like the Jaisalmer Fort and havelis. The cool evenings in the desert create a pleasant atmosphere for cultural performances and bonfire evenings at the Sam Sand Dunes. These months also see a steady flow of travellers, so it is advisable to book your Jaisalmer travel package in advance.

March to Early May – Warmer, But Manageable

While daytime temperatures begin to rise in March, the mornings and evenings remain suitable for sightseeing. If you prefer fewer crowds and more peaceful surroundings, this period can be a good choice. Guests planning a 3-day Jaisalmer tour during this time should schedule outdoor visits early in the day and keep hydration and sun protection in mind.

June to September – Off-Season Travel

The monsoon months bring occasional rainfall to Jaisalmer, though the desert receives relatively low precipitation. This is the off-season, making it suitable for travellers who enjoy solitude and offbeat travel experiences. Hotels and camps may offer promotional rates during this time. Though the sand dunes might be less accessible, the city’s architectural charm and lake areas can still be explored comfortably.

Festival Season – A Culturally Rich Experience

Travelers booking Jaisalmer sightseeing tours in February may have the opportunity to witness the Jaisalmer Desert Festival. This annual event showcases local crafts, music, dance, and camel competitions. It adds significant cultural depth to your visit and is especially recommended for those interested in folk traditions and regional heritage.
