Camp nights are hotter and colder than new visitors expect — on the same day.
The list
- October–March: a real warm layer for after 21:00 ; December–January nights approach 0–5 °C in the open desert; the winter clothing guide has the full logic.
- April–June: the opposite problem ; tents hold heat; confirm AC tents or skip camping in peak summer (see the summer guide).
- Always: closed shoes for the dune walk, a dust-proof bag sleeve, moisturiser, and no valuables beyond what you carry.
Leave behind: hairdryers (power is generator-supplied) and white clothes (dust).
Worth planning
Jaisalmer runs on a seasonal clock: the cooler months carry the crowds and the fuller calendars, while the hot afternoons reward early starts and long lunches. Build this stop around one unhurried hour rather than a quick photo, and let the season decide the hour of day.
On the ground
- Timing: daylight hours suit most visits; confirm the day’s opening window locally, since published hours drift with the season.
- Costs: any entry sits in the nominal range for the city — small notes at the counter settle it (published fee lists here on the site carry current ranges).
- Getting there: an auto or app cab covers the hop from the centre in minutes; walking works in the cooler months.
Keep in mind: specifics shift faster than guides update — treat this page as the frame and recent reviews as the fine print.
