Delhi to Jaisalmer by highway, takes roughly 12-14 hours driving time – assuming you don’t take a break each half-hour. The drive is actually made higher if it’s a seasoned Suryagarh chauffeur that drives you. The opposite approach to get to Jaisalmer is by one direct flight from Delhi, operated by SpiceJet. Additionally flight to Jodhpur after which drive to Jaisalmer. Usually, name up the resort to verify with them what the perfect choice for you’ll be.
I’m not an enormous fan of highway driving in India resulting from a number of elements. Visitors guidelines are not often adopted. In actual fact, they’re flouted to the abyss. Roads are both damaged or not sealed off from fields and cities – discovering stray canines and different animals sauntering on the highway is widespread. Total, I really feel extraordinarily unsafe on Indian roads. However. When it’s a Suryagarh chauffeur AND I’ve nice firm on the drive, I don’t thoughts each now and again, to journey to Jaisalmer, by highway. Many of the highway is buttery easy, in order that helps a LOT.
A number of scenes from the highway under. It feels so good to have the ability to {photograph} in public once more!
Above, a selfie on a “khaat” at a neighborhood dhaba the place we stopped for a chai break. There are fewer and fewer locations to cease at as one will get nearer and nearer to Jaisalmer. The climate is colder now in October – November.
Under, we have been taken to the village house of the chauffeur! Jamba, Rajasthan. A complete joint household shares the duty and bounty of farms they domesticate and animals they handle. Contemporary melons from their area and scrumptious native home-made fare with tons of ghee.
After which we additionally drove to a protected spot the place Demoiselle Cranes come to feed and relaxation. It was my first time seeing these chicken in-person they usually placed on fairly the present. Beautiful!
As soon as we reached Suryagarh, it was 4 days of continuous meals and leisure and Dinner on The Dunes and evening and early morning drives. Pool time on the haveli and evenings spent on the bar, partying with different visitors and Nakul Hada and Amara Reshi of Suryagarh.
I additionally tried the Salt Remedy on the Spa for the primary time and oh my it was SO good. I fell asleep – which I don’t normally do. I believe the truth that it’s colder climate and the remedy is with heated potlis and you then’re laid out on a salt mattress and coated with scorching towels, might need one thing to do with it. Fabulous. Would do once more.
Lazy as I’m – Suryagarh, to me, is all about privateness and splendid leisure – I did put in some effort to decorate up and social gathering some evenings. Sharing a few of these under.
Blue wrap gown by Okhai was bought a number of months in the past and I used to be carrying it for the primary time and now I need all my clothes to be precisely like this.
