After breakfast explore this beautiful Haveli’s of Mandawa. The Rajput ruler of Mandawa built a fort in 1755 to protect this trading outpost that fell in the ancient caravan routes from China and Middle East. The township that grew around the fort attracted a large community of traders, who settled here. When the caravan traffic ceased in the late 18th century, the traders created business empires in other parts of the country, but returned to Mandawa build palatial mansions in their hometown. Mandawa is known for its colorful frescoes on a wide variety of subjects ranging from religious to the erotic; from copies of popular English prints to witty social satire rendered in the inimitable style of local artist. Every home here is adorned with gaily-painted murals that illuminate the arid landscape. Overnight at Hotel.

Once out of the hustle of Mandawa the route opens up into gentle countryside. South of Bikaner is the famous Rat Temple at Deshnok, so we route you there for an unforgettable experience! Travel through the center of Bikaner, driving past its famous fort. It is well worth a visit if you have the time. Overnight at Hotel.

After breakfast, head out through the desert to Jaisalmer - a fairy-tale town in the Thar Desert founded about 800 years ago by Rajah Jaisal.
En-route stops at the Pokhran Fort to grab a bite. You can also get a guide to take you to a village pottery.
Strategically located midway in the triangle between Bikaner and Jaisalmer, Pokhran is a sparsely populated but strategic area. Once used for underground nuclear testing it has since reverted to the more tranquil life of a trading post and holiday destination.
Pokhran is surrounded by five rocky, sandy, salt hills and the name means “the place of five mirages”. Fort Pokhran stands on the ancient trade route that carried salt, silk and spices to Persia and beyond. It is now famous for its terracotta pottery which is sold all over India. If you see terracotta pottery in a market in any large town, the chances are that it came from this area.
Later proceed to Jaisalmer, unlike any other city; this desert fortress is one of Rajasthan's most exotic and unusual towns. Jaisalmer, an important ancient trading center because of its strategic location on the camel trade routes, is often described as the 'golden city'. The havelis, built by merchants of the 19th century, are exquisitely carved from golden-yellow sandstone and are still in a beautiful condition.
The fort built by Rawal Jaisal in the 12th century, stands on the 80 meter high Trikuta hill, with beautifully carved Jain temples. The annual desert festival takes place in January and February each year and is a riot of color and activity. Jaisalmer is also famous for its embroidery, Rajasthani mirror work, rugs, blankets, antique, and stonework. Overnight at Hotel

After breakfast, leave for a city tour of Jaisalmer and visit the famous Havelis, known for their frescoes. It is an outstanding drive through dunes and forested mountains, the most elaborate and magnificent of all the Jaisalmer havelis is the Patwaon Ki Haveli. Five Jain brothers built the Haveli between 1800 and 1860. Salim Singh Ki Haveli and Nathmal Ki Haveli are the other two havelis that are open to visitors.
