Ride camels into the Thar at dusk, watch the sun cleanly drop behind sand waves, then eat a campfire dinner prepared by local herders. This evening safari mixes short jeep stops, a two-hour camel trek and a communal desert meal.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The jeep eases out of town as late afternoon light hunts across the Thar; wind throws grains of sand that feel like tiny questions against the windshield. You stop first at Jassery, a man-made lake rimmed with scrub where peacocks sometimes preen, then climb toward Khaba Fort to look back at the empty city and the flat, stitched fields beyond. By 5pm you reach Camel Point and mount a slow, steady companion for a two-hour trek across dunes that rise and fall like parked ocean waves.

History

Conservation
The Thar is an arid ecosystem sensitive to trampling and campfire impact—stick to designated paths, avoid nocturnal disturbance, and take all waste back to town.

Hydrate Before You Go
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water; desert air and sun accelerate dehydration even late in the day.
Protect Against Sun and Sand
Wear a wide-brim hat, UV sunglasses and a light scarf to block wind-blown sand during the ride.
Footwear and Mobility
Use sturdy closed-toe shoes for the camp and brief walks—flip-flops sink on dunes and offer little protection.
Respect Local Customs
Ask before photographing people, and accept food or invitations politely; local guides arrange seating and meal routines.
Water bottle (1.5–2L)
Staying hydrated is critical in the dry desert air.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, SPF)
Sun is strong even late afternoon; protect skin and eyes.
summer
