Your visit to Jaisalmer is incomplete without visiting this magnificent place located around 110 kms. from Jaisalmer town which is around 3 hours drive and yes it is totally worth it. The roads leading to Longewala are smooth and you will find vast open spaces of the Thar Desert on either side of the road. The Yudh Sthal showcases the factual account of the 1971 war that took place here and it has on display captured tanks, guns, artillery etc. that were left behind by the retreating army. It also highlights the glorious and selfless contribution of the officers and jawans who risked everything in the line of duty and their unflinching dedication to the protection of the nation. A museum in the compount exhibits all the relevant information about the war which is descriptive. A visit to this place also brings out the nostalgic memories of those events and a chance to be proud of our Army who despite all adversities defend the security and sovereignty of the nation. It is a must visit destination of the Jaisalmer itinerary. Period.

Raptor’s inn is a simple unassuming home stay located close to the sanctuary. Atul is a very committed bird guide who puts in tonnes of effort. Has a never give up attitude. A good judge of bird behaviour and how to position the gypsy to get good shots. Suggest that you be clear regarding your requirements and he does his best to take care of it all. The food at the inn is spectacular simple home food. We sure hogged away like there was no tomorrow. All in all a great experience. Nothing to fault. This is a simple homestay but comfortable, clean and high on the satisfaction quotient. Highly recommend.
