General
transportations in Jaisalmer are Auto rickshaw and bicycles because
these are the good ways to get around. If you have enough cash, Auto
rickshaw is a comfortable mode of transportation. Just keep in mind that
drivers might not be friendly all the times. It is recommended to take
rickshaw when you take congested roads. There are monuments that are
situated in close alleys and rickshaws and bicycles might prove handy in
avoiding bottlenecks. Cabs are also available both government operated and private operated. Opt for government operated ones that have authentic rate-cards. Cabs are costly to hire and a lot of dickering takes place with the cab drivers. If you want company and are really low at cash, City tour and site seeing buses are also available which are downright cheap.
One of the major attractions is the train christened 'Palace on Wheel', which boasts of some of the unheard luxuries in the world. Though it is very costly and operates from Delhi, it takes you to a 7 days tour of Rajasthan, including Jaisalmer and nearby places.
