2-Day Camel Safari Jaisalmer: Overnight Desert Camp

Ride into the dunes at sunset, sleep under the stars, ride out at dawn

A 2-day camel safari from Jaisalmer that starts with jeep transport to an abandoned village and natural pond, then moves to a one-and-a-half-hour camel ride across the sand dunes before sunset. You spend the night at a desert camp with dinner cooked over an open fire, breakfast in the morning, and a second camel ride before returning to the city by car. Pickup and drop-off from Jaisalmer are included. A live guide speaks English, Spanish, French, German and Hindi.

The experience

The tour begins with a jeep pickup from Jaisalmer at 2:00 PM and takes you first to an abandoned village and a natural pond, giving you a sense of the landscape before the main event. From there you move onto a camel for a one-and-a-half-hour ride across the dunes, timed to end as the sun drops toward the horizon. Dinner happens at the camp over an open fire, and you sleep under the stars with a bed, blankets and basic camp arrangements provided.

Morning brings breakfast at the camp, then a second camel ride before the jeep returns you to Jaisalmer by 11:00 AM. The overnight format means you see the desert at two different times of day (the golden hour crossing and the quiet dawn departure) rather than rushing through in a single afternoon. Stargazing is part of the night, and the camp includes dancing and singing if you want to join in.

Is this one for you?Book this overnight safari if you want to experience the desert across two different times of day (sunset and sunrise) rather than a single afternoon trip. The 2-day format lets you sleep in the dunes and see how the landscape changes from golden hour to dawn, which a 1-day tour cannot offer.
