I visited Jaislamer in Oct end-Nov beginning which I thought was the perfect time in terms of the weather...it was neither very hot or cold....as I said it was just PERFECT!
I stayed at three different hotels at the Fort,facing different directions each time!The rooms were royal looking done up to make one feel like a king/queen…each room has little windows with sitting areas overlooking the entire city n in the distance the sunrise or sunset depending on location of ur room.They are clean and have nice simple bathrooms.
The camel safari is an experience in itself….i took a 2 night 3 day trip…and I enjoyed it thoroughly.Yea my thighs did get a lil sore but nuthin that I couldnt handle!!and sleeping under the stars and wakin up to sunrise is just awesome…u can make a 100 wishes coz of all the shooting stars you see!!!The camel Driver cooks up a nice simple meal of rice,vegetable in dal and Rotis....very basic but very tasty.For Breakfast,you have the choice of salty oatmeal,biscuits,fruits and tea.
Shopping outside the fort is a few rupees cheaper than doing it inside the fort!!
The food was so-so…i relished the “thalis” with authentic rajasthani cuisine!I found most of the food in the restaurants to be rather bland....that is probably because they have such a huge turn out of foreigners who would leave them a bigger tip,so I guess they would rather cater to their needs than ours!!he he
i would suggest not to venture into the non veg world here coz rajasthan being a pre-dominantly veg state.....they do not cook non veg too well.I remember ordering butter chicken coz I have to eat my non veg....well I got a different version of it....no it didnt taste all that bad but i'd rather not do it the next time around.
