Yes, the Jaisalmer desert is one of the best places in India to observe the stars at night. Being far away from the city lights, the sky is clear and offers a surreal observation experience. You can take a night camping tour in the desert and stargaze with the locals around the campfire, where they also share interesting stories and folklore. The Jaisalmer Desert Festival is also an ideal time to visit, when the city comes alive with numerous cultural activities and events.
