The sandy, barren terrain around Jaisalmer harbours some unexpected monuments, dating from the Rajput era when this area lay on busy caravan routes. Infrequent buses negotiate the dusty roads, and you can rent a Jeep through RTDC, who also offer inexpensive day-trip tours to the main sights, but the best way to visit these places, and see villages and abandoned towns inaccessible by road, is on a camel trek. Being close to the Pakistani
border, the area west of Highway NH-15 is a restricted area . Tourists are allowed to visit Amar Sagar, Sam, Bada Bagh, Lodurva, Akal fossil park, Khuri, Rampunda and Kuldera without a permit, but if you want to go anywhere beyond those places, you should apply to the District Magistrate's Office just west of the private bus stand in Jaisalmer (Mon-Fri & sometimes Sat 10am-5pm). On the few camel treks where this is necessary, however, the organizers will usually get permits for you.
