Delhi to Jaisalmer by street, takes roughly 12-14 hours driving time – assuming you don’t take a break each half-hour. The drive is actually made higher if it’s a seasoned Suryagarh chauffeur that drives you. The opposite method to get to Jaisalmer is by one direct flight from Delhi, operated by SpiceJet. Additionally flight to Jodhpur after which drive to Jaisalmer. Basically, name up the resort to examine with them what the perfect possibility for you’d be.
I’m not an enormous fan of street driving in India on account of a number of elements. Visitors guidelines are not often adopted. In reality, they’re flouted to the abyss. Roads are both damaged or not sealed off from fields and cities – discovering stray canine and different animals sauntering on the street is frequent. Total, I really feel extraordinarily unsafe on Indian roads. However. When it’s a Suryagarh chauffeur AND I’ve nice firm on the drive, I don’t thoughts each infrequently, to journey to Jaisalmer, by street. A lot of the street is buttery easy, in order that helps a LOT.
A couple of scenes from the street under. It feels so good to have the ability to {photograph} in public once more!

After which we additionally drove to a protected spot the place Demoiselle Cranes come to feed and relaxation. It was my first time seeing these fowl in-person and so they placed on fairly the present. Gorgeous!
As soon as we reached Suryagarh, it was 4 days of continuous meals and rest and Dinner on The Dunes and night time and early morning drives. Pool time on the haveli and evenings spent on the bar, partying with different friends and Nakul Hada and Amara Reshi of Suryagarh.
I additionally tried the Salt Remedy on the Spa for the primary time and oh my it was SO good. I fell asleep – which I don’t often do. I feel the truth that it’s colder climate and the therapy is with heated potlis and then you definately’re laid out on a salt mattress and coated with sizzling towels, may need one thing to do with it. Fabulous. Would do once more.
Lazy as I’m – Suryagarh, to me, is all about privateness and opulent rest – I did put in some effort to decorate up and occasion some evenings. Sharing a few of these under.
