Jaisalmer is a small city which is easy to explore on foot. Tourists can walk the alleyways inside the 850 year old fort and explore the ancient architecture, Jain temples, artisan shops, and restaurants. The staff of the Surja hotel is here to help you enjoy your stay in the Golden City. We offer many activities to help you learn about local history, culture and the surrounding desert. Many of these activities we offer free. Please stop by our rooftop lounge or email us to make arrangements for individuals or groups.

These mud-walled houses are planned around a mud-floored courtyard kept immaculately clean, their walls outlined in whitewash with traditional patterns. It has the modest beauty and simplicity of the design, its natural symmetry combined with the soft, irregular lines of hand-building and features like the giant pot, left above, for grain-drying, silhouetted against the dark interior of a thatched shed.

Outside the courtyard we have a washing-place with overlapping walls, above right, that gave privacy without needing a door. 

At our camp we have 4 mud house and 4 rooms. We try to build these mud houses to give you an authentic verything is carefully kept off the floor, beds on their sides against the wall, middle right below, with a pin-up photo of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi.

We have two traditional patterns of mud cottages - all done by the women - decorated the beautiful little oven, above, in the round, thatched kitchen, while inset chips of mirror added sparkle to the decor of the head-man's living room.

Our part broadly has two types of climates. There is the desert climate in the Thar Desert area in the western part of the state and the sub tropical climate in the eastern part. People wear cotton clothes during summer and woolen clothes during winter. Houses in most parts of our part of Thar Desert are made of thick walls which protect the residents from the extremes of heat and cold.
