Experience Authentic Desert Villages & Sunset Camel Safari
This tour is a different and unique experience in Jaisalmer for people who are always curious during their travels how do the local people live. It is also a perfect way to extend camel safari into a full day trip. We understand adventure travellers well that is why we carefully crafted this package.
It is all about authenticity. Nothing is staged here, we want you to see how people live in the Thar Desert. We partnered with selected villages to create a sustainable tourism and fair source of income for them.
You will visit two different villages and have a chance to see desert life, interact with villagers during tea breaks and eat homely vegetarian lunch with one of the families in their house.
After that you'll transfer for the desert safari, where camels will be already waiting for you. Watching the sunset from the dunes is an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, the sky and sands change colours to create one brilliant spectacle.

Stop At: Jaisalmer, Jaisalmer, Jaisalmer District, Rajasthan
Visit in two authentic Thar Desert villages. You will reach there by jeep. Within just few minutes from your arrival the news will spread through the village that a guest arrived. Children start approaching curiously and shouting greetings, women look shyly from far away while men welcome you in their village and ask about your life and family.
Because of the remoteness of these villages, locals are not used to having visitors hence it is always a special occasion when guests arrive. You will spend some time walking around the villages with some chai breaks. After that you will have a chance to taste a traditional lunch prepared for you from local ingredients in one of the families houses. Don't forget to capture those amazing moments on photographs but please ask people before making their portraits.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Fifu Camel Safaris, Opp.Nagarpalika, Bera Rd, C/o, HOTELFIFU, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan 345001, India
When your visit in the two villages is complete, you'll transfer to another point for the desert safari, where camels will be already waiting for you. Watching the sunset from the dunes is an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, the sky and sands change colours to create one brilliant spectacle. The air becomes chillier and it seems as if the whole desert is preparing for the night. As the night emerges you can clearly see the starry sky without any light pollution.
You will reach back to Jaisalmer by 10 PM.
