Jaisalmer Overnight Luxury Camping with Camel Ride & War Memorial

Summary

Luxury Desert Camp Stay & Camel Safari in Jaisalmer

If you're after something more than just sightseeing, this overnight camping trip lets you really feel the desert. You'll ride camels at sunset, sleep in a comfy tent under quiet stars, and visit a war memorial that brings history close. It's relaxed, personal, and full of small moments you won't find in guidebooks.

What’s the experience like?

Warm desert air hit us as soon as we left the city behind. Our driver, Raj, chatted about his childhood in the dunes while we watched the sandstone fade into gold. The drive to camp took just under an hour—enough time to spot a few wandering goats and a chai stand with locals huddled around tiny glasses. By late afternoon, the light was already shifting, making everything look softer.

We climbed onto our camels—mine was called Raju, a bit grumpy but steady—and set off into the sand. The only sounds were the camels' soft grunts and the wind brushing past. Sunset out here isn't loud or flashy; it's slow, almost sneaky. Our guide pointed out a lone khejri tree and told us how people use its shade to rest during summer. When the sky finally turned pink-orange, we stopped for tea and snacks right on the dunes. No crowds, just us and a couple of beetles scuttling by.

After dark, we reached our tent—proper beds, clean sheets, and even a bathroom attached (which I didn't expect out here). Dinner was a buffet: dal, roti, some spicy potatoes, and sweet jalebi for dessert. I could hear distant music from another camp but ours felt quiet, almost private. Morning came early with birdsong and a bit of chill in the air—breakfast was simple but hot, and honestly, coffee never tasted better than it did out there.

On the way back, we stopped at Longewala War Memorial. The guide shared stories from 1971—real people, real battles. It's not a huge place but you feel the weight of history there. We took our time before heading back to Jaisalmer city, sand still clinging to our shoes.
