By Air
Important thing to remember that All commercial flights to and from Jaisalmer have currently been discontinued. Jaisalmer has its own airport, 10km from the city proper with connections to Delhi and Mumbai; other important cities in India are connected via Jodhpur (275km). Jodhpur is also a convenient flight destination because the airport at Jaisalmer is very small & can accommodate only small aircrafts. Tourist taxis, jeeps and auto rickshaws are available outside the Jaisalmer airport to travel the short distance into the city while jeeps and tourist taxis, mini buses and coaches are available in Jodhpur , both outside the airport and through travel agents and tour operators.

By Train
Jaisalmer is now connected by both metre and broad gauge rail lines to other cities in Rajasthan and to important destinations like Delhi , Ahmedabad and Mumbai via Jodhpur . The luxury tourist train, the Palace on Wheels halts at Jaisalmer as it travels through Rajasthan.

By Road
Jaisalmer is connected to Jodhpur (275km), Bikaner (328km), Ajmer (500km), Udaipur (663km) and to Delhi (900km) by well-maintained state and national highways. Rental jeeps, buses and cars are available in these cities for those keen on travelling by road. All vehicles are with a chauffeur. If you do want to buy and drive your own car, a valid international or local license is mandatory and traffic drives on the left of the road. Most state highways are two-laned and traffic can be fairly heavy during the tourist season. It is always advisable to hire the services of an experienced driver as driving in the Thar Desert can be extremely hazardous for the first time traveller. The main Bus Stand is located at a short distance from the Railway Station. However, all major buses start from a Bus Depot, which is adjacent to the Hotel Neeraj, in the city centre.
