Jaisalmer Non-Touristic Camel Safari – Desert Night

About the Activity

The Jaisalmer non-touristic camel safari is a private two-day desert experience for travelers. Pickup is available from selected Jaisalmer hotels or the listed meeting point on Shiv Road. A jeep or car takes the group towards the desert, where the package includes a village visit, a one-hour camel ride, vegetarian food, an overnight stay, breakfast and return to Jaisalmer.

Activity Highlights

• Travel from Jaisalmer with pickup by jeep or car.
• See local desert life during a village stop.
• Enjoy approximately one hour on camelback.
• Watch the evening light away from the main crowds.
• Eat freshly prepared vegetarian food in the desert.
• Wake for sunrise and breakfast before returning.

The source confirms the private format, village visit, one-hour camel ride, food and two-day duration. Sunset and sunrise are repeatedly mentioned by reviewers.

What Is Included

The listing includes breakfast, dinner, chai, rice, chapati, dal, vegetables and vegetable pakoras. It also includes a one-hour camel safari, a village visit and admission connected with the Thar Desert. Hotel pickup is offered from selected properties, and the activity returns to the original meeting point.

What Is Not Included

A non-vegetarian meal costs extra. The source does not clearly list tents, toilets, alcoholic drinks, personal shopping, travel insurance or extra camel-riding time. Treat these items as excluded unless they appear on the final voucher.

What to Expect

Expect a simple desert experience rather than a luxury camp stay. Reviews describe quiet dunes, sunset, freshly cooked food, stories by the fire and sleeping beneath the open sky. However, the formal inclusion list does not explain the bedding, tent or toilet setup. Confirm the sleeping arrangement, blankets and basic facilities before payment.

The activity is private, so only your group participates. The source lists ages 5–50 and says the safari is unsuitable for pregnant travelers, people with back problems or travelers with serious medical conditions. It is not wheelchair accessible.

Two-Day Experience Flow

Day 1: Pickup and Village Visit

Meet the team at your selected Jaisalmer hotel or the Shiv Road meeting point. Travel by jeep or car towards the desert. The listing includes a village visit where guests can see local life. Reviews mention desert settlements and, on some trips, an oasis or Kuldhara, but those extra stops are not guaranteed.

Day 1: Camel Ride, Sunset and Dinner

Join the camel team for the listed one-hour ride. Follow the handler’s instructions when mounting, riding and getting down. Later, enjoy the desert evening and included vegetarian dinner. Reviews commonly mention sunset, chai, freshly cooked food and a quiet night away from busy tourist areas.

Overnight Desert Stay

The product lasts two days, and reviews describe sleeping under the stars. The source does not state whether guests receive open-air bedding, a tent or another setup. TravelTaxi should confirm bedding, toilet access and the bad-weather backup before publication.

Day 2: Sunrise Breakfast and Return

Wake in the desert, enjoy the included breakfast and prepare for the return journey. Some reviewers mention another short camel ride after sunrise, but the formal listing guarantees only one hour of camel safari in total. Return by vehicle to Jaisalmer and finish at the original meeting point.

Additional Information
