Rajasthan, known for its hideous and proud race of people, is also known far and wide for its highly courteous population. This is something that you’ll notice at first sight on landing at the entrance of a five star hotel in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Although Jaisalmer is not a mainstream city in the country, its hospitality and tourism sector is by far among the best. There are a number of five star luxury hotels in Jaisalmer. Jaisalmer, at one time had no tourists pouring in and it was just another city in the harsh deserts of water parched Rajasthan.

This sleepy city transformed itself into a tourist attraction due to the arrival and fascination of foreign tourists who became enchanted by the picturesque Thar Desert and the various attractions Jaisalmer had to offer. The Jaisalmer fort is the major tourist attraction as it is entirely made up of sandstone, and is known locally as ‘Sonar Quila’. The arrival of tourists helped in converting many old mansions within the city into luxury hotels.

Jaisalmer hotels include many five star hotels like the Deoki Niwas Palace, Dhola Maru, Fort Rajwada, Gorband Palace, Heritage Inn, Himmatgarh Palace, Jaisalgarh, Mahadev Palace and Rang Mahal to name a few.

The Deoki Niwas Palace is a deluxe luxury hotel located at Jethwai Road. It’s conveniently located and provides easy access to the airport, bus and railway station. With over 40 rooms at the disposal of guests, this hotel looks like a castle and is built entirely from sand stone (the kind that’s Jurassic yellow). The hospitality services are exemplary, and guests can experience world class facilities. The perfectly designed and decorated rooms of the palace are a delight to guests who have never before experienced what royal life would be like.

Gorbandh Palace has 67 rooms to let out and has been constructed entirely of yellow sandstone with carved balconies cut intricately adorning the palace. This hotel lies on the way to the Sam Sand Dunes. Guests of this luxury hotel will find that they are surrounded by peace and have world famous havelis, a stone’s throw away. There is a central courtyard and the surrounding rooms are all fully air-conditioned along with all modern amenities. Guests are treated to a night of dance and folk music by the fire in the courtyard.

Five star hotels in Jaisalmer have only one aim: ‘To Treat Their guests like Royalty’ and true to this word, they go out of their way to make their guest’s vacation a truly memorable one.

India has a diverse set of options as a tourist destination from historical sites to warm, sandy beaches to refreshingly cool hill stations. But for the tourist who is into history, then a must-visit is the Delhi, Agra, Jaipur region. But given the paucity of time and a multitude of sites within this region, it is necessary to be thoroughly informed and prepared and to plan well in advance.

Agra, the land of the Taj Mahal is one of India’s foremost heritage cities. But Agra is also (in)famous for its touts and conmen who dupe tourists daily. Adequate preparation and planning is required not to fall into the clutches of these touts and conmen.

The length of a visit to Agra depends on whether the traveler wants to restrict his or her trip to the Taj Mahal alone or visit all the other historical sites in the vicinity, including Fatehpur Sikri. It also depends on the kind of shopping that has been planned as part of the trip.

Most places are well connected and a wealth of information is available, so the decision to hire a guide, is left to the tourist who is seeking additional information or a quick tour through Agra. It is advisable to go to government approved guides and not to engage with touts.

No trip is complete without sampling the local cuisine and here again, it is essential that the tourist visits restaurants and eateries, which are renowned and clean.

Agra is best visited in the winters and makes a nice weekend getaway from New Delhi. The place has a lot of history, great cuisine and some well known hotels for short vacations.

The Agra Guide [http://rajasthantourplanner.com/Rajasthan-Tour-by-Duration/Agra-tours.html ] provides a wealth of information on all aspects of travel to Agra – trip duration, trip timing, list of hotels and restaurants, places to see, tour operators, shopping tips and more.

Jaisalmer is a small town, with population just over 18 000 it’s easy to explore on foot. A day will be enough to see all of its tourist attractions like the magnificent Jaisalmer fort and the lovely Haveli’s. Yet the reason why to stay in this town longer is camel safaris. There are many tour operators who will gladly arrange a tour in the Thar Desert. The camel safaris are cheap a day in the desert will cost somewhere around 1500 Rs for one person. They are well arranged and the only duty you will have is to enjoy your safari.

A typical camel safari lasts two days; you leave on the morning and come back next day on the afternoon, although a longer trip can be arranged. The good thing is that most hotels will not charge you for the night on safari and that your big backpack can be left in the hotel for safe keeping. There are a couple of popular safari routes in the desert that lead through some villages.

Rajasthan tour operators will show you pictures from the safari with huge sand dunes, don’t be fooled though. The Thar Desert around Jaisalmer is anything, but big sand dunes. Mostly you will see very rocky surface with some vegetation in form of shrubs, cactuses and camel trees. There are sand dunes but they are nowhere as magnificent as the dunes shown in pictures. On the safari most likely you will meet some locals, but they are quite used to western tourists, as the routes are very touristy and most likely you will meet other groups from different tour operators. There are some locals who go around the desert selling Coke and Pepsi at the popular safari rest places.

The longer safaris are most likely to go off the beaten track. The sleeping and eating on the safari is very well organized. When I was on the camel safari there I really enjoyed the food that was cooked on open fire and sleeping on the sand dune under the sky. The guides or camel men as they are sometimes called all speak English and most definitely will take good care of you.

The camels are well kept. Though it gets kind of annoying at the end of the second day to sit and dangle on the camel’s back and people with sea sickness probably will have problems adjusting. In case you can’t take the ride of camel’s back any more, you are free to walk.

The two day camel safari might not be the adventure of your life, still it is a well spent time. You will get to know a little piece of rural India. The nature of the desert is amazingly beautiful and the camel safari itself is a very enjoyable and relaxing activity. It is particularly good when tired of all the monuments, forts and museums the only thing you want is to get away from it all, the camel safari Jaisalmer is a good chance to relax and to get an insight on another side of Indian culture and lifestyle.
