About this destination

My experience
This is Rachana's own 1-day itinerary for Jodhpur, Khimsar & Jaisalmer, India — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like RAAS Jodhpur and Khimsar Fort & Dunes, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
