And just like that, we were off to Jaisalmer and we were REALLY excited to get out and enjoy the desert life. We got on a bus to Jaisalmer, one of the western-most cities of India, right next to the border

After 5 weeks freezing our buns off in the Himalayas, it was time to leave the cold behind and venture into the desert for the first time! We took our first local sleeper bus all the way to Jaipur.. it
