Accepted Answer

Yes. The old city is very walkable, with Jaisalmer Fort, the Jain temples, Patwon ki Haveli and Nathmal ki Haveli close together, and Gadisar Lake reachable on foot.

To go farther, use local transport. Auto-rickshaws work well between sights in town, and taxis or shared jeeps reach Bada Bagh, Kuldhara and the Sam Sand Dunes.

If you prefer an easier pace or desert day trips, consider a private tour in Jaisalmer.
