Jaisalmer Tour Package from Mumbai — Fly, Train or Road
Plan your Jaisalmer trip from Mumbai — flight and train options via Jaipur, a 5-day itinerary, and luxury and budget packages.
Mumbai's direct flight and train connectivity make it one of the easier major-city departure points for a Jaisalmer trip, and the city's outbound travel market treats Rajasthan as a reliable long-weekend and holiday destination.

Why Mumbai Travellers Choose Jaisalmer
Mumbai's outbound leisure market is sophisticated and comparison-driven, and Jaisalmer competes well against Goa and hill-station alternatives by offering something genuinely different — desert landscape, medieval architecture and a strong Instagram-driven appeal that's grown substantially with recent luxury hotel investment in the city (see our coverage of The Leela's new Jaisalmer resort).
