Overview & Highlights

2N Jaisalmer
Overview & Highlights:

Trade city countdowns for a year-end escape into the Thar Desert.

Feel the thrill of jeep dune bashing across Sam Sand Dunes.

Ride camels across golden sands and enjoy live Rajasthani folk performances.

Explore the mysterious ruins of Kuldhara and the historic Longewala War Memorial.

Walk through Jaisalmer Fort and discover the intricate carvings of Patwon Ki Haveli.

What if your Christmas or New Year break came with golden sand dunes, a camel ride at sunrise, and dinner under a sky full of stars? This 3-day Jaisalmer Christmas New Year trip is for travellers who'd rather trade the usual holiday routine for desert adventures, Rajasthani culture, and a few days exploring one of Rajasthan's most fascinating cities. Grab your friends or join the group solo, because the Thar Desert has plenty of stories to add to your year-end memories.

Jaisalmer, fondly called the Golden City, is where honey-coloured sandstone architecture meets the vast landscapes of the Thar. Its living fort, intricately carved havelis, and winding old-town lanes reveal a rich merchant history, while the desert brings a completely different kind of thrill. Winter is a rewarding time to explore, especially on a Jaisalmer New Year trip with cooler daytime temperatures than the scorching summer months and crisp evenings under open skies.

This Jaisalmer desert safari experience takes you beyond sightseeing. Race across the dunes during a jeep safari, ride a camel over the sands, and enjoy live Rajasthani folk music at your desert camp. Explore the eerie, abandoned village of Kuldhara, hear stories from the 1971 battle at Longewala, and walk through the magnificent Jaisalmer Fort.

For anyone planning a Jaisalmer festive special trip from Gurgaon, this festive-season escape combines adventure, history, and desert nights into one memorable way to close the year.
