Here are the best places to visit in Jaisalmer in 1 day:

1. Jaisalmer Fort

Jaisalmer Fort is nestled in the laps of Thar Desert. This rich fort is unique in the sense that it’s not just a fort but a small settlement of houses, temples, shops, and restaurants. This magnificent fort was built in 1156 by Bhati Rajput ruler, Rao Jaisal.

The fort is 450 meters tall from where you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Jaisalmer city. Don’t forget to photograph the city which looks golden thanks to the houses and complexes made of yellow sandstone! 

Jaisalmer Fort is one of the largest forts of the world and is also known as “Sonar Qila” after Satyajit Ray shot a movie here of the same name. This massive building depicts some of the most impressive aesthetics of Rajasthani architecture. The fort is walled on all sides by massive battlements and several entrances.

The fort looks especially breathtaking during sunset with the sand lending a golden hue to the building. You should take a walk along the narrow lanes inside the walls to shop for souvenirs, handicraft items and ethnic ornaments!

Must see: The main attraction of the fort is Maharawal Palace, which houses a majestic marble throne. Tazia Tower is located right opposite to Maharawal Palace and is a must visit site too. Jawahar Palace is a major attraction too with its impressive architecture and inlay works!

2. Patwon ki Haveli

Next on the one day Jaisalmer city tour is the Patwon ki Haveli, which was the first haveli to have been made in Jaisalmer and over the years, has rightfully emerged as an important tourist attraction.

Patwon ki Haveli is a cluster of five havelis which was built by the wealthy business family of the Patwas. One haveli each was made for every son and the haveli was completed over a span of sixty years in the 19th century. 

The complexity of the haveli’s architecture lies in its opulent wall paintings, balconies, gateways, arches and mirror works on the walls. You may also know the haveli as the “Mansion of the Brocade Merchant” for the Patwas traded brocade. Patwon ki Haveli is also infamous for being the hub of golden thread dealers and opium traders smuggling their goods!

The Haveli is a proud testament to the grandeur of the Rajasthani lifestyle. The paintings and artifacts inside the haveli depict the luxurious life of its residents. Decorated with over sixty balconies, countless pillars and miniature works, Patwon ki Haveli is an attraction that you must not miss out on.

Must see: Check out the impressive art pieces displayed at the State Art and Craft Museum that is located inside the haveli.

3. Maharaja’s Palace

Maharaja’s Palace is located inside the Jaisalmer Fort complex and one of the most popular places on our one day Jaisalmer sightseeing tour. This monument is a small but absolutely fascinating destination with a lot to see and photograph!

The exquisite details and architectural marvels of the palace lie in its beautifully built windows, pillars and courtyards. The top most floor of the palace offers a great view of the city and the Thar Desert!
While visiting the Maharaja’s Palace you must also see the marble throne of the emperor and other pieces of significance such as the silver coronation throne, the royal bed, stamps, banknotes and sculptures. Visit Maharaja’s Palace early in the day to avoid peak hour rush.

Must do: Photograph the panoramic views of Jaisalmer, the sunset and the desert from the top floor of the palace!

4. Vyas Chhatri

Vyas Chhatri is a beautiful assemblage of chhatris made of golden sandstone built in the typical style of Rajasthani architecture. Vyas Chhatri was built in the honor of sage Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata. Vyas Chhatri is located on the northwestern edge of Jaisalmer town. It is situated within a Brahmin cemetery where lies the burial grounds of kings.

This site is maintained by the royal family of Jaisalmer. The carvings and the raised dome-shaped platforms are a sight for sore eyes. Vyas Chhatri is also a great place to picnic, view the sunset, photograph and admire some really beautiful architecture!

Must See: This beautiful destination also doubles up as the city’s most beloved sunset point and a viewpoint from where you will get a bird’s eye view of Jaisalmer.

5. Nathmal Ji ki Haveli

Nathmal Ji ki Haveli is a beautiful ornate architecture located in the very heart of the beautiful city of Jaisalmer and we will be covering this point in the latter part of the one day Jaisalmer sightseeing tour.

The Haveli was built as the residence of the former prime minister of the kingdom, Diwan Mohata Nathmal. The exquisite exteriors are adorned with beautiful carvings and virtuoso work where two elephants made of limestone guard the entryway to the haveli.

Don’t forget to see the extraordinary paintings made of gold leaves and carvings on the wall. Nathmal Ji ki Haveli displays the confluence of the Islamic and Rajput style of architecture. The construction of this haveli started from two points at the same time and confluence at one point which makes the structure look so unique!

Must see: The paintings inside the haveli depict modern amenities such as cars and fans that architects had never seen but painted from the descriptions of those who had encountered these facilities in faraway lands!

6. Kuldhara Abandoned Village

Last up on the one day Jaisalmer traveling tour is an offbeat location. The abandoned village of Kuldhara is located about 20 kilometers from Jaisalmer. The village is famous for its legends and myths and is said to be haunted. The abandoned village sits solitary amidst the barren stretches of the Thar Desert. 

Stories of ghostly and paranormal activities in and around the village have been reported, although there’s no proof of any of it. Nevertheless, Kuldhara is an interesting place to visit if you are interested in the paranormal!

Legends say that the residents of the villages abandoned their homes overnight and fled to other places to save their honor and lives from the tyrannical hands of Salim Singh who was slowly starving the village to death with exorbitant taxes. 

There’s not as much to see at Kuldhara village but the eeriness of the place is sure to enthrall you, and you will be glad to have visited a lesser known tourist attraction in Jaisalmer!

Must see: There is a small, abandoned temple dedicated to a local goddess inside the village which is quite an interesting place to visit!

A short vacation to the Golden City with friends and family is a great way to learn more about Rajasthani culture, enjoy the sights and sounds of a new city, and get back home with a bag full of souvenirs and cherished memories!
