Bada Bagh
Rows of royal cenotaphs on an open ridge — one of the best sunset spots near the city.
ViewpointBada BaghA cluster of chhatris — domed memorial pavilions — built for the rulers of Jaisalmer, set on a bare rise with long views over the desert.
The draw
Why go
- The cenotaphs step up the hillside in rows, which photographs beautifully as the sun drops behind them.
- It is far less busy than the dune sunsets, so it stays calm even at its best hour.
Before you go
Good to know
- Late afternoon into sunset is the light people come for.
- It is exposed and windy on the ridge — a layer is worth carrying.
