Intricate sandstone facade of Patwon Ki Haveli in Jaisalmer

What to notice

Pause at the jharokhas and look for the changes in pattern and depth rather than rushing from room to room. The surrounding streets are residential and commercial.

Plan your visit

Confirm which interior your ticket covers. Photography and museum access can differ between sections. Narrow stairs are not reliably step-free.
