Suryagarh Jaisalmer is rich in history and heritage and offers a variety of curated trails and experiences in and around the hotel such as The Silk Route Exploration which is inspired by the southern route taken by the tradesmen in the 16th century through India and Pakistan over the Pamir of Central Asia heading towards the Indian hinterland. The merchants took shelter in the city of Jaisalmer as they came to trade or barter their exotic goods. Thus, Suryagarh remembers this journey with its interpretation of the Silk Route trade.
