The road

Udaipur to Jaisalmer by road

The first two hours cross the Aravalli hills past Ranakpur. After Pali the land goes flat and dry, and from Jodhpur it is a straight desert highway to Jaisalmer.

Before you go

Start early: leave by 6 AM on the one-day trip. You reach Jaisalmer before sunset, and the desert road is safer in daylight.

Two days is easier: a night in Jodhpur breaks the drive in half and gives you Ranakpur and Mehrangarh on the way.

Hotels inside Jaisalmer fort: cars cannot enter the fort. The driver drops you at the main gate and your hotel sends someone for the bags.

Summer: from April to June the afternoon heat on the desert stretch is severe. Start even earlier and carry water.
