Itinerary
Jaisalmer’s fort is a living urban centre, with about 3000 people residing within its walls. It is honeycombed with narrow winding lanes, lined with houses and temples – along with a large number of handicraft shops, guesthouses and restaurants. You enter the fort from the east, near Gopa Chowk, and pass through four massive gates on the zigzagging route to the upper section. The final gate opens into the square that forms the fort’s centre, Dashera Chowk.
This beautiful haveli is located in the heart of town in small lanes. Privately owned 19th-century haveli known for ornate exterior carvings & unique architecture.
The biggest fish in the haveli (traditional, ornately decorated residence) pond is Patwa-ki-Haveli, which towers over a narrow lane, its intricate stonework like honey-coloured lace. Divided into five sections, it was built between 1800 and 1860 by five Jain brothers who made their fortunes in brocade and jewellery. It’s all very impressive from the outside; however, the first of the five sections, the privately owned Kothari’s Patwa-ki-Haveli Museum, richly evokes 19th-century life and is the only one worth paying entry for. Other sections include two largely empty government-owned 'museums' and two private sections containing shops.
A Prominent Landmark In This Spectacular Heritage City Is Mandir Palace, Which Had Been The Residence Of The Rulers Of Jaisalmer For More Than Two Centuries. Mandir Palace Is An Exquisitely Carved Architectural Marvel Of Ornate Balconies, Canopies And Delicately Carved Screens That Represent A High Point Of Local Craftsmanship In Its Finest And Purest Form. A Noticeable Feature Of Mandir Palace Is Its Tower Called ‘Badal Vilas’, Which Stands Out As The Tallest Structure Below The Hill-Top City Fort.
Gadi Sagar lake situated to the south of the city of Jaisalmer. Gadi Sagar a rain-water lake of Jaisalmer, is located amidst calm and cool surroundings. This sylvan lake is surrounded by innumerable temples and holy shrines. The water of this lake is crystal clear. Water sports such as boating can be done in this lake. It holds the water supply of the entire city. Numerous migratory birds can be seen flocking around the lake. There is also a famous Krishna temple built on top of the yellow sandstone gate.

Great city tour experience in Jaisalmer! Everything was well organized and perfect for exploring many highlights in a short time. We visited the Golden Fort, Jain Temple, Patwon Ki Haveli, Gadisagar Lake, and ended with a beautiful sunset—it was a really nice flow throughout the day. The car was comfortable with AC, and hotel pickup/drop-off made everything easy and convenient. I also enjoyed the shopping part—lots of interesting local items like silver jewelry, handicrafts, and textiles. Overall, a very enjoyable and hassle-free tour. Highly recommended if you want to see the best of Jaisalmer in one day!
Our guide Mr NAND kishore ji was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of jaiselmer. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and nuggets of history/ information all along our tour. Highly recommend it! Thank you Kamal for organising everything for us
Rauf was incredible, he was very helpful, generous and communicative throughout our tour. He’s very kind and we had a lot of laughs on our tour. I would highly recommend Rauf if thinking to book a tour! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience. Kamal took care of every detail from picking me up to dropping me off on the bus back. Padam was my Guide and was excellent. I explain everything in detail and take myself to local places. I was not taken anywhere for “tourists” where you are forced to shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Travelled to Jaisalmer with DIH. It is a Rajasthan based travel solution provider company. They helped me in planning, booking, and sight scenes in Jaisalmer. I literally didn’t stress about anything. Just gave the DIH team my preferences in terms of stay and sight scene. And they created a fantastic travel plan for me. They managed everything on my behalf. Mr. Sharma, my guide was an extremely humble and kind person. He accompanied me for all monuments and explained the history behind it so well. I am satisfied with their services and would recommend them for sure!!

Suresh ji from DIH was our guide for this Jodhpur tour. It was a 3-day trip including all scenic spots of Jodhpur. Our stay arrangement was done by DIH along with airport pick and drop. Suresh ji made us feel quite comfortable. He was caring and friendly and knew the place in and out. The best part was that he managed the entire day so well that we had nothing to worry and just enjoy the places and food. He took us to various food joints in old city of Jodhpur which I don’t think I would be able to explore alone. I am thankful to DIH for such great experience.

I visited Jaipur with some of my friends in Jan 2023. Jaipur has always been my favourite destination. DIH helped me to cover most offbeat destinations in the city. I had specific choices in the trip including monuments, shopping, local food, wildlife spots in the city. So, I requested for a guide also for the trip. Sher Singh, a local from Jaipur was our guide for these 4 days trip in Jaipur. Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing, monkey temple, panna meena ka kund, Gandhi bazar, elephant camp were major highlights of our trip. I had a great experience taking DIH’s services. Cant wait to travel with them next to Udaipur.
