Route & transportation
Jaipur to Jaisalmer Taxi
Approximately 560 km, 8.5–9.5 hours by road with a chauffeur-driven vehicle.
About this route
- Two main options: via Jodhpur to the south, or via Bikaner to the north.
- Driven straight through it is a full day on the road with little sightseeing.
- The Bikaner routing adds Junagarh Fort and the Shekhawati region; the Jodhpur routing adds Mehrangarh.
One-way or round trip?
One-way, as part of a longer circuit. A round trip to Jaisalmer and back to Jaipur without overnight stops is not a comfortable plan.
