It's one the best kept secrets (or may be not anymore...thanks to the zillions of travel shows)...the one and only Licensed place to get Bhang....had to search a bit for it...and don't fall for the "private" shops...there is only ONE governement approved and managed shop...near the bike/car parking area...ENJOY..but with restraint :-P

I visit Jaisalmer every year and have just returned from an 8 week visit. Most (practically all) shopkeepers and touts in the town know me and have the common sense to not continually ask me to buy, buy, buy. The manager of this place must be dipping into his stock, because every time I pass by he forgets I have... More

We were 4 people who rarely drank bhang lassis before. In the bhang shop, which was the gov. legalized one, we drank one strong cold coffee and one light lassi. We shared one for two. After 2 hours we started feeling terribly bad. The owner of our hotel told us that the owner of the bhang shop changed lately. I... More

After visiting the other Bhang shop (the one with the official government sign) which turned out to be the wrong shop and not the one with all the great reviews - we stumbled across dr bhangs lassi shop and we were not disappointed! Dr bhang was lovely to talk to, told us lots of funny stories and about his family... More

It has great drinks. I had a Bhang Lassi. I liked it very much, but it was a bit strong for me. I've never had it before so it was a great experience to try one.

Good place to hang out and chat with other travellers. Bear in mind that any shops/services recommended casually by the staff are likely to be on the basis of a hefty commission for their own pocket (I fell for it!). I found one staff member a bit creepy (as a lone female) as he befriended me then asked questions of... More

It was very fun to visit Dr. Bhang in his Lassi shop. The bhang lassis themselves were delicious. The staff were really interesting and very friendly - to female patrons as much as male (for any other women travelling in Rajasthan you may have experienced being treated differently to men or in some cases being ignored by male staff!) Definitely... More

One visits the Lassi Shop (formerly known as the Bhang Shop) not just for the "special" lassi, but for the pleasant conversation and the opportunity to mingle with other adventurous travelers. "The Doctor" and his "cousins" are part of the fun of visiting this shop.

The only Government approved Bhang shop in the city. The guys here are seasoned pros and give you the best possible high.
