Gujarat to the Thar

Jaisalmer Package From Ahmedabad | Jaisalmer Holidays

Direct overnight trains, an easy Jodhpur flight, or a scenic drive through Mount Abu.

Ahmedabad is one of the friendliest starting points for a Jaisalmer trip. Direct trains such as the Sabarmati–Jaisalmer route run overnight and put you in the Golden City by morning, which means a Friday-night departure can give you a full desert weekend. You can also fly Ahmedabad to Jodhpur in about an hour and drive 280 km to Jaisalmer with our car, or make a road trip of it — around 630 km via Mount Abu and Jodhpur, best split over two days.

Our Ahmedabad packages are built for that arrival rhythm: station pickup, quick freshen-up at the hotel, then straight into Jaisalmer Fort and Patwon ki Haveli while the light is still soft. Day two takes you out past Kuldhara ghost village and Bada Bagh to Sam Sand Dunes for a sunset camel safari, Rajasthani thali dinner, folk music round the bonfire and a night in a Swiss tent under an enormous sky.

Gujarati and Jain travellers make up a large share of our guests, so pure vegetarian, Jain and no-onion-no-garlic meals are standard for us, not a special request. Tell us your dates and food preferences on WhatsApp and we will send back a full itinerary with a fixed all-inclusive price.

Best price guarantee

Tell us a written quote from another operator for the same inclusions and we will match or better it.

One WhatsApp number, start to finish

The same team plans your trip, meets you at the station and answers the phone at 11 pm if a plan changes.
