Ordinary Puppet Show - skip this
Very ordinary puppet show. Not worth the hype. Too long and not worth Rs.150 ticket either Need better puppetry. Music is decent

Underrated gem of Jaisalmer
I don’t know why more people don’t visit this. It was a great experience of learning about the culture of Jaisalmer from the local people. Run by a well known historian, this is legit. What a beautiful expression of Rajasthani culture.

Do t miss this one of you are a nature enthusiast
Being senior citizens, we could only do the yellow trail. The place is unique....never learnt so much about the rocks. Very well maintained. Harsh the naturalist is excellent. He is knowledgeable, patient as well as very pleasant. The number one place to visit in jodhpur if you love nature

A must when in Jaisalmer
It's experiences like this that fill me with joy. Such a beautiful evening watching the show. We learned a lot about traditional rajasthani culture and understand the importance of preserving it in this modern age. We were the only 2 in the 6:30 show (it was still off season) so had the opportunity to ask questions about the traditional instruments used during the show and got to see the puppets up close. The family that make the puppets and perform the show are descendants of orignal puppeteers who would tour the villages with their show in the past. Very humbling people and not too pushy on trying to sell you any extras - just happy to answer your questions and very proud to be a rajasthani. We also got to meet the founder of the musuem after viewing his personal collection of rajasthani artifacts. Overall it was a great experience and I urge people to go and enjoy this 'not on hotel to do list' activity.

Two-man show: puppetry, singing, and drumming
One artist handled all the puppets and made sounds for them and the other sang and drummed. The puppets seem to be hand painted, the singing and drumming were beautiful, and the puppet design and manipulation were very clever. It was pretty neat!
