Half-Day Camel Safari in Jaisalmer
Choose between a quiet non-touristic sunset safari and a lively cultural desert camp evening.
The Thar Desert is not just endless sand. It is a living landscape of golden dunes, small desert villages, camel trails, changing skies and people who have made this beautiful land their home. Every part of the desert has its own character, from the quiet mornings and long camel trails to the golden colours of sunset and the clear night sky.
Every traveller comes to the desert looking for something different. Some want a quiet sunset on the dunes, some want to ride camels through the desert and discover village life, while others want to spend a night beneath a sky full of stars. With our local knowledge and years of experience, we help you choose an experience that suits your group, your time and the way you want to experience the Thar.
Our non-touristic safaris take you away from the usual tourist areas and into desert places where there are no other tourist groups around you — just your group, the dunes and the desert sky. Along the way, you may visit Kuldhara, walk through desert villages, meet local people, enjoy freshly cooked vegetarian food around an open fire and experience the simple rhythm of life in the Thar.
We offer different safari options, custom destinations where possible, fair and competitive pricing and group discounts. If you have something specific in mind, tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll help you find the right way to experience the desert.
A desert safari in Jaisalmer is about much more than riding a camel across the sand. The Thar Desert is a living landscape of golden dunes, desert villages, camel trails, open skies and local life. Depending on the experience you choose, your journey can take you from Jaisalmer into quieter parts of the desert, past old villages and seasonal desert landscapes, to a sunset on the dunes, a meal cooked over an open fire and a night beneath the stars.

Why travel with The Real Deal Rajasthan Camel Safari?
