Itinerary for Life in the Thar Desert

1 Night / 2 Days Thar Desert Safari with Camel Ride & Village Life

DAY
01

Kuldhara, Jaseri Lake, Camel Safari & Sunset

Your experience begins around 8:00 AM with pickup from your hotel in Jaisalmer. We leave the city behind and drive towards Kuldhara, the famous abandoned village near Jaisalmer. Take some time to explore the old settlement, hear its stories and history, and see how the landscape changes as we move further into the Thar Desert.

From Kuldhara, we continue towards the desert and, when seasonal conditions allow, visit Jaseri Lake, a natural oasis in the Thar. The landscape around the lake can change depending on the season, making it a special part of the journey when water is present. From here, we continue deeper into the desert before beginning our camel safari.

Once we reach our desert area, you will meet the camels and begin exploring the Thar Desert at a slower pace. The camel safari takes you through open dunes and desert landscapes away from the busy tourist areas. Along the way, there is time to stop, take photographs and enjoy the surroundings before settling down for lunch under a desert tree.

Lunch is freshly prepared over an open fire and served under the shade of the tree. Our vegetarian desert meals are simple, fresh and filling, with dishes such as mixed sabji, noodles and chapati. After lunch, take some time to rest and enjoy the quiet surroundings before having tea and snacks and continuing your desert experience.

Later in the afternoon, we head out again by camel towards the dunes. As the sun begins to set, we stop at a non-touristic spot in the desert to watch the sunset. With no other tourist groups around you, there is time to sit on the dunes, take photographs and enjoy the changing colours of the Thar without rushing to the next attraction.

NIGHT
01

Open-Fire Dinner & Sleep Beneath the Stars

After sunset, we return to our evening spot and light the fire. Dinner is freshly cooked over the open fire and enjoyed around the campfire under the desert sky. As the night becomes quieter, settle down on your desert sleeping arrangement and spend the night beneath the stars. Away from the lights of Jaisalmer, the open sky becomes part of the experience.

DAY
02

Morning Camel Ride & Desert Village Life

Wake up to the peaceful desert morning and enjoy breakfast before beginning another camel ride through the Thar. The morning gives you a different view of the desert, with softer light, cooler air and a chance to experience the landscape before the day becomes warmer.

After the morning camel ride, we spend time exploring desert village life and seeing how local communities live in this environment. You can experience the simple rhythm of life in the Thar, see the surroundings and learn more about the people and traditions connected to the desert. Later, enjoy lunch under the open sky before preparing for the journey back to Jaisalmer.

Around 4:30 PM, we begin our journey back to the city and drop you at your hotel in Jaisalmer, bringing your 1-night, 2-day Thar Desert experience to an end.
