By road: Approximately 780–820 km, 12–13 hours by car — confirm current conditions, usually via Jaipur — a viable option for those wanting a Rajasthan road trip.

Recommended Itinerary: 4 Days from Delhi
Day 1: Overnight train from Delhi, or a short flight.
Day 2: Arrive Jaisalmer, check in, Jaisalmer Fort and haveli trail.
Day 3: Gadisar Lake morning, transfer to Sam Sand Dunes, sunset camel safari, overnight desert camp.

Why Delhi Is Jaisalmer's Natural Gateway
As the best-connected major city, Delhi sees the highest volume of Jaisalmer-bound travellers of any origin point in India, and the direct overnight train in particular has made Jaisalmer one of North India's most accessible desert getaways — a genuine weekend trip is realistic from Delhi in a way it isn't from most other cities on this list.
