- Kuldhara, Jaisalmer - This deserted village and natural oasis was once a vital water source for local villagers, farmers, and animals. Established in 1291 by the Paliwal Brahmins, it was a thriving community due to their successful agriculture in the desert. However, in 1825, the inhabitants of Kuldhara and 83 nearby villages mysteriously disappeared overnight.
- Khaba Fort - Dating back to the 13th century, Khaba Fort was a significant part of Kuldhara, inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins. During the 1800s, the residents abandoned the village, leaving behind a ghost town.
- Thar Desert - Arrive at Camel Point to meet the camel guide and enjoy a non-touristic camel safari. Experience the local wildlife, meet local farmers, and visit a nearby village.
- Thar Desert - Begin the evening with refreshments (tea & snacks) to energize for the adventure. The breathtaking views will captivate you. The setting sun leaves unforgettable impressions on your heart and soul. After the sunset, enjoy cooking in the extraordinary dunes. Following dinner, spend the night in the deserted dunes under a canopy of stars, an experience that will leave you in awe. Sleeping under the stars with a comfortable bed and blanket is an incomparable experience. In the early morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast at sunrise, followed by another camel ride.

Very good safari experience - Exceptional safari, we left in untouristy dunes (which may not be the case depending on where you book) where we were able to enjoy a sunset and sunrise all with a night under the stars, walk with camels and visit some monuments on the way by jeap. The organizers were very friendly and prepared us dinner and a good breakfast. The spot is really beautiful, great for the view and souvenir photos.

It was a good experience. - He picked me up from the airport.
We had 2 hours free time after leaving our luggage at the hotel and drinking chai until the tour started
When everyone gathers, the tour begins
Five of us got on the back of a Jeep and drove two hours to the desert.
On the way we visit oasis and castle ruins before arriving at the camel waiting near the desert
From there, I got on a camel, and about half an hour later, I reached my destination.
When we arrived, the drink vendor's brother brought 300 rupees of beer.
It was expensive, but I thought I'd buy it if I could drink a beer that was chilled in the desert
It was so delicious.
The toilet, of course, was in the grass.
It felt open, and that was another great experience.
We spent our free time until the sun went down, and we had dinner when it went down
The curry and rice and chapati were very good, the curry was particularly exceptional
It was very cold at night, long sleeves essential
Breakfast is sweet porridge, fruit and bread
The dishes are washed with desert sand, so sometimes the sand is mixed in and it's jarring, but that's also adorable
From there, I rode the camel again to my car.
And on the way back, I went straight to the hotel, so it took me about an hour to get there.
Drink chai and take a shower to end the tour
It was very satisfying.
Thank you 😊

Great Sunset + Amazing Food - It was a great experience! The food was amazing (chapati with rice and potato) and after sunset we eat and talk a lot to each other, knowing more about their culture. I highly recommend!

Very nice experience - Amazing non-touristy desert safari with Rumi's. We went in a jeep, then rode camels over beautiful dunes. Sunset and sunrise were perfect colors. A bright moon and tons of stars at night!
Visited old villages like Kuldhara, learned about Marwari culture. Simple, real experience. Slept on mattresses under the sky—very cold, but the wood fire was great for warming up and chatting. Loved the chai and food cooked on the bonfire: tasty Rajasthani dinner and breakfast.
Morning camel trek back was peaceful. If you want a quiet, simple desert adventure, this is it. Just pack warm clothes!

Relaxing time at the Desert - Great desert safari experience. Our driver was really kind and took us by jeep since we didn’t want to do the camel ride. Spending the night in the desert was peaceful and memorable. I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Camel and overnight desert safari - It was a very cool experience. You have 2 rides on the camel, one in the afternoon, and next day in the morning. You have the chance to see the stars in the middle of the desert and have a nice dinner and breakfast cooked just there. Take some clothes with you it can be chilly at night!

Great experience - Guides were very friendly and kind. Food was fresh and tasty. We were also provided a place to store our luggage and shower upon our return. It isn't action packed, lots of time to chill under a tree and wait out the heat.
