Most Instagrammable places in Jaisalmer, India.

1. Thar Desert

• How to get there: you’ll most definitely need transportation by car. Another option which you can choose is to join in on a camel safari. Unfortunately when we were visiting it was really off season so all of the luxury camps were closed. But if you can I can really recommend The Serai.

• When to go: right before sunset is the most magical time

• What to wear: going barefoot is the way to go here cause I tell you it’s a lot harder than it looks to run around in sand dunes :p

2. Jaisalmer Fort

• How to get there: the entrance of the fort is easily reached by Tuk Tuk. It’s one of the last living forts in the world where about 1/4 of the old population still lives.

• When to go: early morning during sunrise will get you the most spectacular views + empty and clean streets

• What to wear: a flowy dress + sandals you don’t need sneakers to climb this fort 😉

3. Gadsisar Sagar Lake

• How to get there: it’s a short walking distance from the fort

• When to go: we went during sunrise and the light was absolutely magical

• What to wear: if you go during sunrise I would opt for a sheer fabric so you can make even more magic happen with the light!

4. Jain Temples

• How to get there: they are located within the fort

• When to go: they are open every day from 7 am until 1 pm. The charge for entering is around 200 rupies plus an additional fee to take your camera inside as a tourist. Please remember to remove your shoes before entering.

• What to wear: make sure to be dressed decent when you’re visiting temples: preferably a long dress and covered shoulders.

5. Kuldhara – Ghost village

• How to get there: by car, the former village is located around 18km from Jaisalmer city.

• When to go: around sunset

• What to wear: opt for a colour that makes you stand out
