Walking
If you are in the Jaisalmer Fort area, start by heading towards the East Gate of the fort. Exit the fort and walk along the main road until you reach the intersection with Ramgarh Road. From there, follow Ramgarh Road straight for about 1.5 kilometers. Look for the Vyas cenotaphs on your left; the museum is located next to them at Gramin Haat, ONGC Colony. The walk should take around 20-25 minutes.
Auto-rickshaw
Find an auto-rickshaw from any major point in Jaisalmer, such as the main market area near Sadar Bazar. Tell the driver 'Thar Heritage Museum, near Vyas cenotaphs.' The ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare before starting your journey.
Bicycle
If you prefer cycling, rent a bicycle from a local shop in Jaisalmer. Start from the main market and head towards Ramgarh Road. Follow the road for about 1.5 kilometers, keeping an eye out for the Vyas cenotaphs on your left. The museum is located right next to them at Gramin Haat, ONGC Colony.
