Jaisalmer & the TharPlanning notes

In the desert

Stay on authorized routes, take litter back, minimize noise and never disturb wildlife for a photograph. The desert is habitat, not empty land. Fires require permission and safe conditions.

In the city

Conserve water in this fragile setting. Respect residential doors, temple guidance and photography restrictions. Ask permission before portraits and pay artists fairly.

Before an excursion

Check permits and access with the relevant authorities. Do not seek restricted border photography or assume military-site access is included in a temple tour.
