Spend a night on the open sand of the Thar Desert on a non-touristic camel safari that leaves Jaisalmer mid-afternoon and returns the following morning. Expect sunset and sunrise camel rides, campfire-cooked meals, village stops, and sleeping on a prepared bed under a vast star field.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You crest a low dune and the desert opens: a slow sea of rippled sand, long shadows of camel trains, and a sky that suddenly feels close enough to touch.
Difficulty
easy
Duration
24 hours (overnight)
Fitness Level
Suitable for most people in basic fitness—ability to mount/dismount a camel and tolerate uneven ground required
Wildlife
History
The Thar has long been a conduit for caravan trade and pastoral life; Jaisalmer grew wealthy on routes that linked northern India to western markets, and camel culture reflects that history.
Conservation
Water is scarce—use provided water sparingly and carry reusable containers; practice leave-no-trace and avoid open fires away from designated cooking areas.
Reserve your spot on the An Overnight Non-touristic Camel Safari (2PM to 11:30 AM Next Day) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Hydrate before and during the safari
Carry 2–3 liters of water per person and sip regularly; desert heat and wind dehydrate faster than you expect.
Wear closed, sturdy footwear
Sand shifts underfoot—light hiking boots or trail shoes keep sand out and protect ankles during camel mounting.
Respect local customs and privacy
Ask before photographing people in villages and follow guides’ directions during cultural exchanges and food preparation.
Prepare for no facilities
There are no built washrooms at the campsite—plan accordingly and bring hand sanitizer and biodegradable toilet paper.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Protects against intense mid-day sun on open dunes.
summer
Insulated layer or light jacket
Nights drop sharply; a warm layer makes sleeping outdoors comfortable.
winter
Reusable water bottle or hydration bladder
Reduces waste and keeps water accessible on camel rides.
Headlamp or flashlight
Hands-free light for evenings at camp and early-morning movement.
