Frequently asked questions

Are there toilets at the campsite?

No—there are no man-made washroom facilities; guests should be prepared to use natural-seclusion and carry out waste when required.

How strenuous is the camel riding?

Camel riding is steady rather than technical, but expect several hours on the animal with some walking on loose sand—moderate fitness helps.

Is the trip suitable for children or pregnant travelers?

Infants can travel but must sit on laps; the operator advises against travel for pregnant guests due to rough terrain and limited facilities.

What weather should I expect and when are trips offered?

Winters (Nov–Feb) are cool and crisp, summers are hot and dusty; operators commonly run tours year-round but avoid very hot months for comfort.

History

The Thar has long been a crossroads of caravan routes and Rajput settlements; nearby ruins reflect shifting water resources and historical migration patterns.

Conservation

The desert ecosystem is fragile—avoid disturbing vegetation, minimize campfire impact and pack out all trash to protect dune flora and returning migratory birds.

Adventure tips

Hydrate early and oftenCarry at least 2–3 liters of water per person and sip regularly—desert heat and exertion dehydrate faster than you expect.

Sun protection is non-negotiableWide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and UV sunglasses reduce glare and sunburn during long midday riding.

Footwear for sandChoose closed-toe shoes or lightweight trekking sandals that keep out sand and protect ankles during uneven dune walks.

Prepare for no toiletsThere are no man-made facilities at the campsite—bring biodegradable wipes, a small trowel and sealable bags for waste.

Recommended gear

Sun hat and sunglasses: Keeps sun off your face and reduces glare during long daytime stretches.
2–3L hydration system: Portable water supply is critical—refill options are limited once you leave Jaisalmer.
Light sleeping layer and warm jacket: Desert nights can be surprisingly cold; pack a warm mid-layer for after sunset.
Biodegradable toiletries & sealable bags: For hygienic toileting and to pack out waste since there are no facilities.
