FAQ

Questions before you book

How do I book a desert safari or camp stay?

Send your dates, number of travellers and what you would like to do by WhatsApp, phone or the enquiry form. We reply with options and a quote. Nothing is confirmed until you agree to it.

How far are the Sam Sand Dunes from Jaisalmer?

Roughly 40 km west of the city. The drive usually takes around an hour, depending on stops along the way.

Can you pick us up from Jaisalmer railway station or airport?

Yes. Share your train or flight details and arrival time and we arrange a transfer to your hotel or camp.

Do you publish fixed prices?

No. Rates depend on your dates, group size, vehicle and camp choice, so we quote for each enquiry.

When is the best time to visit Jaisalmer?

October to March is the most comfortable. In summer, safaris are planned for early morning or evening to avoid the heat.

How many days to spend in Jaisalmer

One full day covers the core of the old city: Jaisalmer Fort, the carved havelis and Gadisar Lake. Two days lets you add an afternoon on the dunes and a night at a desert camp, which is how most visitors experience the Thar. With three days or more you can include Kuldhara, a quieter dune area such as Khuri, or a full-day drive to Tanot and Longewala near the border.

If your time is short, it is better to do fewer things well than to rush between sights in the heat. We can help you decide what to leave out.

Getting to Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer railway station has train connections with Jodhpur, Jaipur, Delhi and other cities, and it is a short drive from the old city. Jaisalmer airport has a limited and sometimes seasonal flight schedule, so many travellers fly into Jodhpur instead and drive the remaining distance of roughly 285 km, which usually takes five to six hours.

Whichever way you arrive, send us your train or flight details and we can arrange a pickup to your hotel or camp.

Choosing where to see the desert

The Sam Sand Dunes, roughly 40 km west of the city, are the best-known dune area and the setting for most camps and safaris. They are lively around sunset, especially in peak season. Khuri, to the south-west, has a quieter village setting. Tell us whether you prefer atmosphere or calm and we will suggest the better fit for your group.

Weather through the year

October to March is the most comfortable period, with warm days and cool evenings. December and January nights in the open desert can be close to freezing. April to June is very hot, and outdoor plans are best kept to early morning and evening. July to September brings occasional monsoon showers, with humid days in between.

How booking works

Send your dates, the number of travellers and what you would like to do. We reply with a suggested plan and a written quote that lists what is included. Once you are happy with it, we confirm the booking and share pickup details before you travel. Payment terms are stated in your quote.

Travelling respectfully in the desert

Carry a refillable water bottle and take your litter back with you from the dunes. Ask before photographing people, especially women and children in villages. At temples, cover your shoulders and knees and remove your shoes; the Jain temples inside the fort may also restrict leather items. Small courtesies go a long way in a place where tourism and everyday life share the same lanes.

Choosing between a day trip and an overnight stay

A day trip to the dunes lets you see the sunset and return to your hotel the same evening. It works well if you have limited time, prefer your own room, or are travelling with very young children. An overnight camp stay adds the evening programme, a night under the desert sky and sunrise over the sand.

If you can spare one extra night, most travellers find the overnight option more memorable. If not, a well-timed evening safari still gives you the essential experience of the Thar.

A simple three-day outline

Day one: arrive, rest, and explore the fort and havelis in the late afternoon when it is cooler. Day two: a relaxed morning, Gadisar Lake, then the drive to the Sam Sand Dunes via Kuldhara for sunset and a camp night. Day three: sunrise on the dunes, return to the city and continue your journey.

This outline covers the main experiences without long drives on consecutive days. We adjust it to your arrival time, interests and pace.

Why book locally

Planning with a team based in Jaisalmer means your contact knows the current conditions: how busy the dunes are, which roads are slow, and how the weather is affecting plans this week. If something changes on the day, you are messaging someone a short drive from where you are, not a call centre in another city.
