Late afternoon light pulls the sand into long, cool shadows as a convoy of jeeps drops you at the edge of the dunes. Camels wait like patient ships; the desert air dares you to slow down. On this overnight camel safari from Jaisalmer you trade city streets for a horizon that moves with the wind—dunes that shift and whisper, a natural pond hiding where groundwater meets depression, and an abandoned village whose walls hold the tracks of traders and nomads.
