Hi everyone,

I am travelling to Jaisalmer from Mumbai in December and I have got myself a train to Jodhpur but from there my train arrives quite early in the day, so I was thinking about getting a bus from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer on the same day (I don't feel like hanging around the station all day waiting for the night train!)

Does anybody know where I go when I get off the train in Jodphur junction station to get bus tickets for Jaisalmer without having to approach a tout?!?

Many thanks
Angel

Try sending a PM to India Tree member blue desert rose, Govind lives in Jodhpur and may be able to help you.

Welcome to the tree AngelStar.
Jodhpur has an amazing fort and other historical sites. So instead of hanging around the station keep your luggage in the station cloak room and visit these places. You can come back to the station in the evening and relax in the waiting room. Sleep on the night train to Jaisalmer.
I have no idea about the bus service but in my opinion it may be possible to arrive at the bus terminus and buy a ticket and board a bus that would take you to Jaisalmer.
