Jaisalmer during Holi
I'll be arriving in Jaisalmer on Mar 21 and will stay 3 three days.
Mar 22 will be spent in the desert on a camel safari... How is Holi being celebrated in Jaisalmer and should we expect? |

March 22 morning time will be the big throwing of colour, then after that it dies down a bit, but you will still get kids around the streets with a bit of water pistol colour aiming. Prior to this day, there are some kids in the streets (not so much in the main market though, shopkeepers don't want them there) who will try to spray colour, and one of the 'tricks' they get up to is to ask for rupees and then they won't ruin your clothes.
If you are out in the desert on the 22nd I don't think there will be much of the colour throwing there. If you want to 'join in' I suggest you wear old clothes - some of this colour is impossible to remove by washing.
