Jaisalmer - What to Pack - Clothing and Supplies Tips

Jaisalmer What to Pack

The stunning fort of Jaisalmer is one of the most glorious in all of India. Pack lightly but remember the weather can change quickly. Aim to protect your skin from the heat and the dirt and you’ll enjoy this city even more. Bear in mind Jaisalmer is a dry place without much water.

Luggage

No matter what you have planned for your Jaisalmer adventure, these luggage options are ideal for a short or long-term stay.

This is a Desert

Jaisalmer is surrounded by a desert. This means that it’s full of sand even inside the city walls. You want to protect yourself from the dirt and the sun. To this end, bring lightweight clothing that allows your skin to breathe in the heat. You should bring clothing that won’t let the stinging sand get on your skin. Keeping your skin covered is important. Consider bringing a pair of long pants that you can tuck intoyour socks. A wide brimmed hat is essential as are long-sleeved shirts.

Clothes to Pack

Camel Rides

One of the most popular things to do is to take a camel ride. Camels are the ideal way to get around the area. If you’re atop one of these magnificent creatures, pack properly. A cushion to help you adopt to the motion of the camel is vital. You’ll also want to have plenty of water on hand and a camera that is well-shielded from the heat. If you’re going to be away more than an hour or two or at night, bring warm clothing as the temps fall rapidly. Many women recommend a comfortable sports bra as this provides support without digging into your skin. Sunscreen is also a good idea along with a light backpack.
