Jodhpur to Jaisalmer Desert Tour by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Jodhpur to Jaisalmer desert tour is the definitive Thar Desert experience by tempo traveller. Begin at Mehrangarh Fort for a zipline over the blue city, then drive to Osiyan — the "Khajuraho of Rajasthan" — for 8th-century Sachiya Mata and Jain temples. Continue through Pokhran to Jaisalmer, where 2 full days unlock the Golden Fort's Jain temples, the ornate Patwon Ki Haveli, Salim Singh Ki Haveli, and Gadsisar Lake. The crown jewel is an overnight at Sam Sand Dunes or the more remote Khuri Dunes — camel safari at sunset, Manganiyar musicians performing under stars, and waking up to a desert sunrise. The Tanot Mata Temple near the Pakistan border and Longewala War Memorial (from the 1971 war, depicted in the film Border) add patriotic depth. Rajasthani safed maas, kair sangri, and rabri complete the culinary journey.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer Desert Tour costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 350 km (with desert excursions) and about 3-4 days recommended of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
