The Perfect 2 Days In Jaisalmer Itinerary

With desert camping top of most peoples Jaisalmer itinerary, here are some other cool places to visit in Jaisalmer in 2 days.

Day 1 Of Your 2 Day Jaisalmer Itinerary

Jaisalmer Desert Camp

Desert camping is top of most people’s Jaisalmer itinerary for a reason!

Ever dreamt of riding a camel through a crystal clear desert in the middle of India? Well Jaisalmer is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world for doing exactly that!

Not only do you spend a day riding through the sand in the middle of the Indian desert. But you can also camp out underneath the stars, Indian style.

With agents all around the city tempting you in to book onto the city’s largest tourist attraction, you can book your Jaisalmer: Overnight Stay in Swiss Tent with Camel Safari.

We spent the night tucked up around a fire, while our local tour guide cooked up home some made Indian curries. Even better we ate them with our hands and stayed up all evening sharing travel stories.

Our Jaisalmer camel safari was by far one of our greatest ever travel experiences!

Day 2 Of Your 2 Day Jaisalmer Itinerary

Jaisalmer Fort

One of the most famous landmarks, and most popular places to visit in Jaisalmer in 2 days, is the city’s Fort.

Like most towns in India, Jaisalmer comes with an incredible old fort, although this one is different.

Known to be not only one of the largest forts in the world, but believed to be one of the very few “living forts” in the world today.

Nearly one fourth of the old city’s population is still thought to reside within the walls of Jaisalmer Fort.

So take a walk down and explore the 800-years of history that stand in the centre of the city.

The entry fee for visiting Jaisalmer Fort is 50 Rupees per person for Indians, and 250 Rupees per person for foreigners.

For those looking for a more indepth tour of the fort, or perhaps some further details on the history from a local guide, we recommend the Private Jaisalmer City Tour with Fort and Heritage Havelis.

Definitely one of the most interesting places to visit in Jaisalmer in 2 days, so don’t miss it from your Jaisalmer itinerary!

Sadar Bazar

Before dinner on the second day of your Jaisalmer itinerary, we recommend walking streets of the city.

Sadar Bazar in particular is an awesome local market to explore. So if you’re looking for a sari or sarong to take home from India, then this is your place.

This local wholesale and retail market in Jaisalmer has almost everything that you could be looking for. From handicrafts, to paintings, and intricately carved wooden items.

Sadar Bazaar is a real enchantment for shoppers and one of the most interesting places to visit in Jaisalmer in 2 days.

Jaisalmer is home to many other markets and handicraft shops too. So if you have some downtime, shopping in Jaisalmer certainly kills a few hours.

Directly across from the Jaisalmer Fort, you will also find plenty of locals selling hand made items.
