Suryagarh Jaisalmer- Beautiful as Always
I visited Suryagarh Jaisalmer for the first time in 2012 and I have been a fan ever since! So when I was invited to visit for a third time in July 2016, I happily accepted, and I am glad that I did! Suryagarh remains as beautiful as ever, if anything it has only improved with…
The Spa at Suryagarh, Jaisalmer
It is usually before a trip I feel most tired. It is logical to remember a wonderful spa experience at such times! I somehow never got around writing about my experience of the spa at Suryagarh. They call it Rait which means sand. This was my second visit to the Rait, both the times I…
Monsoon Skies from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
As a rule, I am not a big fan of monsoons. There are two reasons for it. One is my commute for work. When it rains the commute becomes hell. The second is trekking. When it rains on a trek, life becomes difficult again. But monsoons are beautiful if you are not trekking or commuting….
Exploring the Temples at Jaisalmer- With Suryagarh
I have to admit I am not much of a temple person. I was not sure what to expect it was on at the Suryagarh trip. In the end we explored such off beat and small places around Jaisalmer that I was glad we did this. Navdungar Temple is on the way to Deta. When…
The Royal Cenotaphs at Barabagh, Jaisalmer
I visited Jaisalmer recently on invitation from Suryagarh. We went on a temple trail which included the lesser known temples of the region like Navdungar temple. But it also included the royal cenotaphs at Barabagh Jaisalmer. The ride to the cenotaphs was smooth. The skies were moody on the day for sure, the road beautiful!…

Monsoon Magic with Suryagarh, Jaisalmer
When someone says Rajasthan what is the image that comes to your mind? When I traveled to Jaipur for the first time in 1990 (where did the time go?) what I saw was not what I expected from the desert. Jaipur had trees and the ‘real’ desert was nowhere in sight. Similarly this time when…
A Quick Hello From Suryagarh, Jaisalmer
My trip to Suryagarh is now about to come to an end. I have been to Jaisalmer twice, and twice it has been on invitation from Suryagarh. I think as far as Jaisalmer is considered I am spoiled for life, staying around in such luxury and sigh seeing with the former model and the MD…
More from Jaisalmer Streets
Saw this yawning camel near the Gadisar Lake, it was available for hire but we of course walked. No, this picture was not clicked around Holi, I clicked it in January at Jaisalmer. So I was curious why these colors? I asked my guide about it. He inquired and told me that the person with…
