Tour Itinerary
Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel or preferred location in Jaisalmer in the afternoon.
The drive towards Sam takes you away from the city and into the open landscape of the Thar Desert. The journey usually takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic and road conditions.
Enjoy a 4×4 jeep safari across the sand dunes.
The jeep takes you deeper into the desert landscape, with opportunities to see the changing shape of the dunes and stop at suitable points for photographs.
If you enjoy a little adventure, the jeep ride provides a more energetic way to experience the desert compared with a traditional camel ride.
Continue your desert experience with a camel ride across the dunes.
Camel riding has long been associated with travel through the Thar Desert and offers a slower, quieter way to take in the surroundings.
The ride is generally scheduled around the late afternoon, when the desert becomes more comfortable for outdoor activities.
After sunset, continue to a desert camp for an evening of Rajasthani folk music and traditional dance.
The programme provides an introduction to Rajasthan's performing arts and desert culture in a relaxed camp setting.
Enjoy a traditional Rajasthani dinner at the desert camp.
Dinner arrangements and the menu can vary depending on the camp and package selected. If you have specific dietary requirements, let us know in advance so suitable arrangements can be discussed.
After the cultural programme and dinner, your private vehicle will take you back to Jaisalmer.
You will normally arrive back in the city around 10:00 PM, although the actual return time can vary depending on the duration of the activities and road conditions.
