Camel Safari in the Thar Desert

A Slow Ride Into the Dunes

The Thar Desert begins just beyond Salawas, and there's no better way to feel its scale than from the back of a camel, swaying slowly toward the horizon as the light turns amber. Our camel safari in Jodhpur is unhurried by design, giving you time to enjoy the journey, the changing landscape, and the wide desert horizon rather than simply covering distance.

Camels and handlers are sourced from local families who've worked with these animals for generations, and every ride is accompanied by an experienced handler on foot or camel throughout. It's a simple, authentic way to experience the desert while staying connected to the people and traditions of the region.

What to Expect

• Gentle, guided ride suitable for complete beginners

Want to Stay Longer?

Guests who want more than a sunset ride can ask to host for add-on — a night under canvas beneath a sky with almost no light pollution. Speak to host to check availability and pricing for your dates.
