Events in Jaisalmer, the Golden City
Jaisalmer offers something no city venue can: the Thar desert. Golden sandstone, luxury tented camps and dinners on the dunes make it Rajasthan's most atmospheric setting for weddings, incentive nights and celebrations.
Getting there
- By air: Jaisalmer Airport (JSA) has limited, often seasonal flights; many groups fly into Jodhpur instead.
- By rail: Jaisalmer station has trains from Jodhpur, Jaipur and Delhi.
- By road: About 285 km from Jodhpur (around five hours) and 560 km from Jaipur.
Jaisalmer Fort — a living fort that is still home to residents — rises from the desert in golden sandstone, and the dunes around Sam and Khuri are a short drive away. Luxury camps and resorts on the desert's edge host everything from intimate dinners to complete wedding functions.
Because it is remote, Jaisalmer rewards careful planning: flight schedules, travel time from Jodhpur, camp capacity, cold winter nights and desert logistics all shape the programme. Done well, it is the trip guests talk about for years.
Best time of year
October to March. Desert nights are cold, and temperatures can fall into single digits in December and January, so heaters, bonfires and warm layers are part of the plan. The Jaisalmer Desert Festival is usually held in January or February.
