Jaisalmer with family was honestly sooo different from Jaipur. One minute we were walking around this massive golden fort and the next we were literally in the middle of the desert watching the sunset like we had entered some Bollywood travel montage. 😭✨

I went with Mumma, Papa and Aarav, and because it was only two nights, we somehow tried to fit an unreasonable amount of Jaisalmer into one tiny trip.

The fort and old lanes were super pretty, but the desert evening was easily my favourite. We reached the dunes around sunset, did the whole desert-camp scene, watched the folk performances and then sat around under the sky with absolutely nothing city-like around us.

Also, Aarav suddenly became a professional photographer because apparently desert lighting gives everyone confidence. 😂

Very short trip, very sandy shoes, approximately 500 family pictures and honestly… completely worth it.

Jaisalmer really said come for two nights, leave with enough pictures for the next six months. 🏜️😂
