About This Journey
Rajasthan Anniversary Celebration — Luxury
An anniversary asks for one thing above all: time that belongs to the two of you. This six-day route through Jodhpur and Jaisalmer gives you that in a landscape built for it. Sandstone forts, empty desert roads and a sky with almost no light in it.
You begin in the Blue City, beneath Mehrangarh's ramparts, then cross the Thar to Jaisalmer, where the fort glows gold at dusk. The trip closes with a private camp night near the dunes. There is a bonfire, Rajasthani folk music, dinner under the stars and a slow, unhurried morning. Nothing about the pace is hurried, and your driver-guide is yours alone for the whole journey.
- 01
A private camp night to close the trip
Day six ends at a private desert camp near the dunes. Evening brings a folk music and dance performance around a bonfire, then dinner under a sky with almost no light pollution. The desert turns cool after dark, so heavy blankets are provided.
- 02
Sunset over the Sam Sand Dunes
On day four you drive about 40 kilometres out to the Sam Sand Dunes for sunset. It is the moment most couples remember, and the unhurried schedule leaves room to stay for the last light.
- 03
Two hotels chosen for the occasion
Two nights at RAAS Jodhpur, inside the old walled city just beneath the fort, then three at Suryagarh Jaisalmer, a sandstone fortress-style hotel facing the Thar. Both are the kind of place you would choose for an anniversary.
- 04
A celebration, arranged on request
Flowers, a private dinner or a small surprise can be arranged on request. Tell your trip designer the date and what would mean the most, and we will plan around it.

4 of your 6days — the full itinerary follows below. Scroll to travel the route.
Day 2 · Jodhpur
Jodhpur's Old City & Toorji Ka Jhalra Stepwell
A morning exploring Jodhpur beyond the fort. Toorji Ka Jhalra is a stepwell built in 1740 by a queen consort of Maharaja Abhaya Singh. It drops more than 200 feet below street level in tiered sandstone terraces. Carvings of elephants and lions still trace its walls. From there, the old clock tower market fills the afternoon — spice stalls, textile shops, and lanes that haven't changed their trade in generations.
Day 3 · Jodhpur → Jaisalmer
Jodhpur to Jaisalmer — Into the Thar Desert
A five-hour drive further west, deeper into the Thar Desert. The land empties out along the way — scrub, open sky, and small villages built low against the wind. Jaisalmer announces itself from a distance: a fort of golden-yellow sandstone rising straight out of the desert floor. Check in by early evening, with the fort itself saved for tomorrow.
Day 4 · Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer Fort & Sam Sand Dunes at Sunset
Jaisalmer Fort, built in 1156 by Rawal Jaisal, is one of the few forts left in the world that's still fully lived in — around four thousand people call it home today, running shops, hotels, and temples inside its walls. Morning is spent inside the fort and at Patwon ki Haveli, a cluster of merchant mansions with carved sandstone facades. In the afternoon, drive out to the Sam Sand Dunes, about 40 kilometres and an hour from the city. Watching the sun drop behind the dunes, the desert turns gold and then a deep orange-red — a genuinely different landscape from anything earlier in the trip.
Day 5 · Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer's Merchant Havelis
A day spent among Jaisalmer's havelis, the ornately carved mansions built by the city's trading families. Patwon ki Haveli is really five havelis in one complex, built by five brothers who dealt in gold brocade and silver. Nathmal ki Haveli adds two life-sized elephants carved from yellow sandstone at its entrance. Salim Singh ki Haveli's curved upper storey is often compared to a ship's stern. Every facade here was carved by hand, and it shows.

Every day, start to finish — including the transfers the day-by-day chapter above skipped.
Jodhpur
Mehrangarh Fort & the Blue City
Mehrangarh rises 125 metres above Jodhpur. It sits on a sheer rock face, built in 1459 by Rao Jodha. Its ramparts are some of the thickest in Rajasthan. The museum inside holds royal palanquins, armour, and a gallery of miniature paintings. From the fort walls, Jodhpur's old city spreads out below in shades of blue. The colour started with Brahmin homes. It spread more widely later, partly for its heat-reflecting properties. The afternoon is free to walk those blue lanes at ground level, camera in hand.

Jaisalmer
Desert Camp Under the Stars & Departure
A private desert camp near the dunes outside Jaisalmer, reached in the late afternoon. Evening brings a Rajasthani folk music and dance performance around a bonfire, dinner served under a sky with almost no light pollution. Desert nights run cool even after hot days, so camps provide heavy blankets as standard. Morning is unhurried before the drive back into Jaisalmer for departure.
