By Rent Eazy CarPublished May 30, 2026

Plan a road trip to the golden dunes of Jaisalmer from Jaipur. Learn about the route, desert camps, and driving tips.

Drive Deep into the Thar Desert: The Golden Citadel

A road trip from Jaipur to Jaisalmer is an epic highway journey. Drive through desert roads, dry landscapes, and traditional wind turbine farms to reach the Golden City.

Route and Night Stops

The total distance is approximately 560 km. We recommend splitting the drive by halting for a night in Jodhpur to avoid driver fatigue. The stretch from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer is a scenic two-lane highway with minimal traffic, making it a joy to drive.

Desert Camping at Sam Dunes

Park your car at the desert resorts and take a camel or jeep safari into the sand dunes. Driving a 4x4 Thar is highly recommended for exploring sandy tracks.
