Budget-SavingPro Tips
Jaisalmer Fort is free to enter — it is a living fort with hotels and shops inside
Book budget desert camps (₹1,500/person) instead of luxury ones — same dunes, same stars
Eat Dal Bati Churma and Ker Sangri at local dhabas for authentic food under ₹200
Negotiate camel safari prices directly — avoid hotel-booked tours which add 40% commission
Visit in November-February for comfortable desert weather
Break the long drive with an overnight stop in Jodhpur (280 km from Jaisalmer)
Complete Guide to Jaisalmer Trip Cost
Jaisalmer, the Golden City, rises from the Thar Desert 780 km from Delhi. This 10 to 12-hour drive leads to one of India's most magical destinations — a sandstone fort city surrounded by sand dunes, where sunsets paint everything in gold. The desert experience here is unlike anything else in India.
A 4-day Jaisalmer trip from Delhi costs between ₹10,000 for budget backpackers to ₹50,000 for luxury desert glamping. The biggest unique expense is the desert safari — an overnight camp in the Sam or Khuri sand dunes with camel rides, cultural performances, and sleeping under the stars. Budget camps start at ₹1,500/person while luxury Swiss tents cost ₹8,000-15,000.
The cab fare from Delhi is significant at ₹8,580 one-way for a sedan, but we strongly recommend breaking the journey in Jodhpur (500 km from Delhi, 280 km from Jaisalmer). This gives you two incredible Rajasthani cities in one trip. Your Triveni Cabs driver handles the desert highway expertly.
Jaisalmer Fort is one of the few living forts in the world — people still live, work, and run shops inside it. Entry is free, and wandering its honey-colored lanes is the highlight of any visit. Combined with the sunset at Sam Sand Dunes and a night under the desert stars, Jaisalmer delivers memories that last a lifetime.
