The gorgeous golden sands of Jaiselmer bring with them a feeling of mystery, mysticism and beauty unlike any other. The city originally was the prosperous town of traders on the silk route from Europe to the Far East. A town steeped in Indian regality yet stark and desolate has much to offer.
The discerning traveler minus the crowd of tourists in its virgin glory could enjoy the gorgeous living fort of Jaiselmer with a royal performance by the court manganiyars in rustic splendor of their deep earthy voices. Enjoy an afternoon listening to the ancient history of the Krishna worshipping clan of Rajput’s, in the voice of their prince, or enjoy a ride up the fort in graffiti-ed tuk tuks. Spend a day exclusively savoring the beauty of the fort or listen to stories from an ageing astrologer about the mysteries of the city.
After a day in the sun go back to your hotel for a riveting performance by an international band with Indian flavours or a dancing troop with rajasthani cultural roots, in the company of your friends under the stars.
Enjoy the sunrise from your suite with uninterrupted desert vistas or camp under the stars with a beautiful local troop singing their ancestral numbers to the tune of the ravan hatha (a local musical instrument).
The dues of this gorgeous city have a magnetizing effect on the soul seeped in wanderlust; the peace and the colour beckon you each time you visit. Somewhere amongst these sands Bedouins dwell with their music and dancing splendor. There camels unscathed by the extreme climate happily carry you to the top of these looming dunes on carts or bare back.
Enjoy the thrill of adventure amongst simplicity, with every comfort at your feet. Enjoy a drink with some local savouries as the sun goes down behind the dunes. All this along with specially curated bazaars and haunted trail trips, boating on an ancient lake or visit to a forgotten temple or even better performance by a local magician in the company of kings and much more awaits those who dare to travel to lands unexplored in luxury curated to match your style.
