TRAVEL + LEISURE WEDDINGS & HONEYMOONS

THINGS TO DO

► Host your post-wedding party in the

desert under the moonlit sky. Rajasthani

folk music and the desert breeze will keep

the tempo high. Ride on camels before

settling down in comfy tents in the middle

of the sandy dunes for a game of cards and

a selection of cocktails and canapés.

► Adventure enthusiasts can indulge in

activities such as dune bashing, quad

biking, paramotoring, and paragliding over

the Thar Desert for views that are a treat

to the eyes.

► After days packed with ceremonies,

relax with private sessions of yoga,

meditation, and Buddhist chanting with

a resident expert.

HOW TO GET THERE

Jaisalmer’s all-new airport makes transfers

from cities all over India, easier.

However, take the road for a memorable

trip through the desert terrain.

Head to the opulent Suryagarh in

Jaisalmer for a grand reception

under the starry sky. Located

14 kilometres outside the main city,

it boasts spectacular sandstone

courtyards bound by mighty fort

walls and a selection of terraces to

choose from as your venue. Cobble-

stoned paths lit with hundreds of

diyas guide you to beautiful

mandaps in the middle of a bawdi.

Teamed with exclusive services,

this setting makes the dream

conclusion to your wedding

ceremonies. suryagarh.com

SURYAGARH

USP

Suryagarh can pack

a punch for wedding gifts—

traditional jewellery

boxes, a pack of specially-

designed playing cards,

and raw silk bags.
