It suits travelers who want to move through the city under their own power but with someone who knows which neighborhoods matter and where locals actually eat, and who want the morning structured around a temple visit and food stops rather than a self-guided route.Free cancellationfromUS$ 50View ›

Overnight Camel Safari from Jaisalmer with Stargazing
Overnight Camel Safari from Jaisalmer with Stargazing★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (35)2dAn overnight camel safari from Jaisalmer takes you into the Thar Desert by jeep and camel, with stops at Jasery Lake and Khaba Fort on the way out. You ride for an hour or more to reach the dunes, watch the sunset with tea, sleep under the stars on a provided bed, and return to the city by mid-morning the next day. The safari includes all transport, meals cooked fresh on a campfire, and a morning camel ride option; no bathrooms exist in the desert, so toilet access means finding a bush.Is it for me?The safari asks you to ride camels for an hour or more and sleep on the ground under open sky with no bathroom access—the trade-off is that you see the desert at its quietest, with a campfire dinner and stars overhead instead of a hotel room. Children from age 10 can join, but the ride and overnight camp are not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns or pregnancy.Free cancellationfromUS$ 100View ›
