Jaisalmer – the Golden City of India – isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling. And there’s no better way to explore its magic than through a memorable stay at Hotel Garh Villa Jaisalmer, a heritage-style hotel that feels like home but offers you a royal experience.

Whether you’re here for the forts, the dunes, the food, or the silence of the desert stars, Hotel Garh Villa becomes more than a place to sleep—it becomes a part of your Jaisalmer story.

📍 Day 1: Arrival in the Golden City

As soon as you step into the ancient streets of Jaisalmer, the air starts telling tales of Rajput valor and desert romance. I checked into Hotel Garh Villa, just a short walk from the iconic Jaisalmer Fort, and was welcomed with warm chai and even warmer smiles.

The hotel is beautifully designed with traditional Rajasthani architecture—stone-carved walls, antique furniture, and a rooftop that gives panoramic views of the fort glowing at sunset.

🏰 Day 2: Forts, Havelis & Rooftop Views

My Jaisalmer diary began with a local city tour arranged by the hotel. The friendly guide walked me through the Jaisalmer Fort, Patwon Ki Haveli, and Salim Singh Ki Haveli, narrating stories of merchants, kings, and the golden days of the Silk Route.

Lunch at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant was a delight—dal baati churma with a fort view!

In the evening, the rooftop transformed into a peaceful stargazing spot, where I sat with a warm cup of masala tea and watched the city sparkle below.

🏕️ Day 3: Into the Desert – Camping with Hotel Garh Villa

No trip to Jaisalmer is complete without a night in the desert. Hotel Garh Villa’s desert camping package took me straight into the heart of Sam Sand Dunes.

Highlights:

• Camel Safari at sunset – slow, peaceful, and picture-perfect

• Jeep Safari – fast, thrilling, and unforgettable

• Quad Biking & Parasailing – adrenaline-fueled fun in the golden sands

• Cultural Evening – Kalbeliya dance, Rajasthani music, fire show, and delicious buffet dinner under the stars

I stayed in a Swiss Tent with an attached bathroom—clean, cozy, and lit with lanterns that made the night feel magical.
