Camel Safari Jodhpur: Sunset Ride & Desert Village

Temple, camel ride at sunset, village life, and sand dunes in one half-day

A half-day camel safari tour from Jodhpur to Osian combines a visit to the 1,000-year-old Sachiya Mata Temple with a guided sunset camel ride across the Great Indian Desert, followed by a jeep safari through sand dunes and an optional village stay. Hotel, airport, or railway station pickup is included, and the tour accommodates up to ten people in a private group with an English-speaking driver and a traditional Rajasthani dinner.

Step-by-step itinerary

Temple visit and sunset camel safari

• Pickup from hotel or station
• Visit Sachiya Mata Temple
• Enjoy guided camel ride at sunset

The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel, airport, or railway station in Jodhpur and heads to Osian, where you'll explore Sachiya Mata Temple: a place of worship built a thousand years ago. From there, the real draw begins: a guided camel ride as the sun sets over the Great Indian Desert. You're not watching the landscape from a vehicle. You're moving through it on camel back, feeling the shift from day to night across the sand.

The safari continues with a jeep ride through sand dunes, where you'll see the desert's wildlife: nilgai (blue cow), deer, and peacock come to the ponds for water. The route also passes through village farmland, so you get a sense of how people actually live and work in this landscape, not just the postcard version. The day wraps with an authentic Rajasthani dinner served in traditional style, and you're back in Jodhpur within six hours of pickup.

Three purchase options let you shape the experience: a camel ride with village experience, a camel safari plus jeep safari combination, or a one-night stay in a desert village if you want to extend it. The tour is private to your group alone, with a maximum of ten people per booking. Children and infants travel free when at least two adults are paying.
