Tour Overview
Where Faith Meets History On The Border
Journey deep into the remote Thar Desert to two of Rajasthan's most stirring destinations. Pay your respects at the sacred Tanot Mata Temple, revered by the Indian Army for surviving the 1965 and 1971 wars unscathed, then stand at the Longewala War Memorial, site of one of the most decisive battles in Indian military history.
This full-day journey takes you through vast, empty desert landscapes near the India-Pakistan border — a side of Jaisalmer far removed from the fort and havelis, and unforgettable for history buffs and pilgrims alike.
