Delhi to Jaisalmer by street, 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 technique to get to Jaisalmer is by one direct flight from Delhi, operated by SpiceJet. Additionally flight to Jodhpur after which drive to Jaisalmer. Typically, name up the lodge to test with them what the best possibility for you’ll be.
I’m not an enormous fan of street driving in India resulting from a number of components. Site visitors guidelines are hardly ever adopted. In reality, 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 street is frequent. 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 every so often, to journey to Jaisalmer, by street. Many of the street is buttery clean, in order that helps a LOT.
A number of scenes from the street beneath. 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 had been taken to the village house of the chauffeur! Jamba, Rajasthan. A whole joint household shares the duty and bounty of farms they domesticate and animals they handle. Recent melons from their discipline 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 fowl in-person they usually placed on fairly the present. Gorgeous!
As soon as we reached Suryagarh, it was 4 days of continuous meals and rest and Dinner on The Dunes and night time and early morning drives. Pool time on the haveli and evenings spent on the bar, partying with different friends and Nakul Hada and Amara Reshi of Suryagarh.
I additionally tried the Salt Therapy on the Spa for the primary time and oh my it was SO good. I fell asleep – which I don’t often do. I believe the truth that it’s colder climate and the remedy is with heated potlis and then you definately’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 rest – I did put in some effort to decorate up and social gathering some evenings. Sharing a few of these beneath.
Blue wrap gown by Okhai was bought a couple of months in the past and I used to be carrying it for the primary time and now I would like all my attire to be precisely like this.

Ear hook and wire are sterling silver. Brooches are additionally from my artwork label. All have a magnet clasp on the again. Each bit is signed and dated on the again.
