Real experiences from real travelers
The camel trek was the highlight of our India trip. Booking through this platform was seamless, and the operator in Jodhpur was incredibly professional. Watching the sun dip below the dunes in Osian is a memory I'll treasure forever.
I've done safaris in Dubai, but the Jodhpur jeep safari felt more authentic. Our guide pointed out wildlife we never would have seen otherwise. The dunes are beautiful and the folk dance at the end was spectacular.
Very well organized. The pickup was on time and the Sachiya Mata Temple visit was a great cultural addition before heading into the sand. Wear a scarf for the wind!
We opted for the overnight stay. The village hospitality was heartwarming. Eating food cooked over an open fire under the stars was incredible. Highly recommend the 2-day option.
The booking process was easy. We were a bit worried about the camel ride but the handlers were very patient and the camels seemed well cared for. Stunning photography spots!
Even if you only have a half-day, do the sunset safari. The transition from the Blue City to the desert is amazing. The jeep ride is bumpy but worth every second for the views.
I didn't expect to see so much wildlife. We saw deer and peacocks. The temple architecture is stunning. Everything was perfectly timed to catch the best light.
The communication from the operator was excellent. The car was clean, the guide spoke good English, and the desert camp was much more comfortable than I imagined.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The primary desert area for safaris is Osian, which is approximately 65 kilometers (about 1.5 to 2 hours drive) from Jodhpur city center.
The best time is from October to March when the weather is pleasant. Sunset tours are most popular as they avoid the midday heat.
Our partner operators are vetted for animal welfare. The camels are integral to the local community's livelihood and are generally well-rested and fed.
Wear light, breathable cotton clothing. Long trousers are recommended for camel riding to prevent chafing. Bring a scarf for dust and a jacket for cool desert evenings.
The jeep safari is high-energy and covers more ground, while the camel safari is peaceful and traditional. Many tours offer a combination of both!
Most afternoon/sunset tours include a traditional dinner or snacks. Overnight tours include all meals. Check your specific tour details for confirmation.
Yes, most tours are family-friendly. However, very young children may find long camel rides tiring. Jeep safaris are usually a hit with kids.
Yes, many travelers book solo. Most tours are group-based, allowing you to meet other travelers, or you can book a private safari for extra security.
