How to reach Jaisalmer
Four ways in — we handle transfers from all of them.
By Air
Jaisalmer Airport (JSA) has seasonal flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Jaipur (Oct–Mar). Jodhpur Airport (JDH, 285 km) runs year-round and pairs well with our chauffeur transfer.
By Train
The overnight Delhi–Jaisalmer Express (14659) and Jaipur–Jaisalmer Express are the classic options. Jaisalmer Junction is a 10-minute drive from the Fort.
By Bus
RSRTC Volvo and private sleeper coaches connect Jaisalmer with Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaipur and Delhi. Comfortable, but slower than train or private car.
By Road
NH11 and NH125 are well-paved. Self-drive or chauffeur-driven — Jodhpur is a scenic 5-hour drive; Jaipur 9–10 hours with a Bikaner or Pushkar stop.
