Leave Jaisalmer’s fort behind for a private dune ridge where camels carry you into the Thar at sunset. Enjoy tea, a desert‑style vegetarian dinner, and — in winter — a bonfire beneath an expansive starfield.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Late afternoon light flattens the Thar and the jeep hums away from Jaisalmer’s honey‑coloured fort, depositing you at a small, private sweep of dunes. Camels wait like patient craft; the animal’s gait rocks you forward as the desert breathes around you and the sun slides toward the horizon.

Conservation

Hydrate before and during the trip
Desert air is dry; bring at least 1 L of water per person and sip regularly, especially in summer.
Wear supportive, closed shoes
Sand can be hot or cool and coarse; closed shoes or light hikers protect toes and make walking easier.
Sun protection is mandatory
Use a wide hat, SPF sunscreen, and sunglasses—sun reflects strongly off pale sand during the ride.
Plan for cooler nights in winter
Temperatures drop fast after sunset—bring a warm layer for the bonfire and return drive.
Sun hat or cap
Shields face and neck from strong midday and late afternoon sun.
summer
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet from hot or abrasive sand and provides traction on dune slopes.
Insulating layer (fleece or down)
Keeps you warm after sunset when desert temperatures fall quickly.
winter
Spare camera battery / power bank
Cold nights and lots of photos drain batteries; a power bank helps keep devices charged.
