Why go with a local
What Jaisalmer gives you that a guidebook cannot
The fort is the last living fort in India — around three thousand people still live inside it, which is why parts feel like a town rather than a monument. It is also why the drainage is a genuine conservation problem, and why staying inside the walls is a more complicated decision than it looks.
The desert is the reason to come, and the difference between Sam and Khuri is the difference between a coach park and a village. Anyone offering a camel safari from the main street is selling the first one.
November to February. Outside that the daytime heat makes the fort walk unpleasant and the dunes worse.
