Every price includes transport, stay and taxes. Tell us your dates and how many people, and we will rework any of these around them — most guests end up with a slightly custom version anyway.

Tents sit on a raised platform with real beds, attached western bathrooms and running hot water — not the row of canvas sheds along the main road. Evenings run to a fixed schedule so nobody misses the sunset.
A standard night runs like this: camel or jeep out to the dunes around 4:30 pm, back for tea by 7 pm, Kalbelia dance and fire performance from 8 pm, dinner at 9 pm around the bonfire, breakfast the next morning and check-out at 9 am.
Twin beds, attached bath, running hot water, heater through winter. Dinner and breakfast included.
Larger tent with a private sit-out, room service and a bonfire slot of your own.
Air-conditioned, carved furniture, private dune-facing deck for sunrise.
Beds set out on open sand away from the camp, with a caretaker on watch all night.
Book any of these on their own for the evening, or fold them into a camp stay. All of it runs on our own animals, vehicles and trained operators.
The classic 45 to 60 minute ride out to sunset point with a handler walking alongside. Fine for children and first-timers. Overnight camel treks on request.
Thirty minutes of modified Thar and Gypsy over deep sand, driven by dune specialists. Roll bars and belts fitted. Not advised in the first trimester or with back injuries.
Self-drive ATVs on a marked dune circuit, 15 to 30 minutes with a briefing and helmet. Minimum age 16, or ride pillion with an instructor.
A ten minute towed ascent over the dunes with harness and helmet, run only when the wind is safe. Weight limit 90 kg.
A table set well away from the camp with lanterns, a Rajasthani thali cooked to order, and a folk singer if you want one. Our most booked add-on for proposals.
An early morning wildlife drive through protected grassland for chinkara, desert fox and, with luck, the Great Indian Bustard. Forest permit arranged in advance.
Our own fleet with drivers who know the district. Airport and railway pickups, city sightseeing, dune transfers and one-way drops across Rajasthan. Fares below cover fuel, driver allowance and tolls.

12, 17 and 20 seaters with pushback seats for groups and school trips.

We can put any combination of these into a private car day. The timings below are what we actually plan around, not guidebook estimates.
A living fort with roughly 3,000 residents still inside. The palace museum and Jain temples fill a morning. Free to enter, ticketed inside.
2–3 hoursFive connected mansions holding the district's finest stone latticework. Go early, before the tour groups arrive.
1 hourA 14th century reservoir ringed with ghats and pavilions. Sunrise for the birds, sunset for boating.
45 minutesThe main dune field, 42 km west. Camel rides, jeep safaris and the camps. Arrive by 4 pm for sunset.
Half dayAbandoned in the early 1800s and left standing ever since. Sits on the road out to Sam. Ticketed.
30 minutesRoyal cenotaphs on a ridge with the wind farm turning behind them. The best sunset spot near the city.
45 minutes120 km out near the border, with unexploded shells from the 1965 war on display inside.
Full day with LongewalaThe 1971 battlefield with captured Pakistani tanks and a small museum. Pairs with Tanot.
Full dayThe peacock-shaped mansion of a former prime minister of the state, a short walk from the fort.
30 minutesA ruined hilltop fort above another deserted Paliwal village. Peacocks come out at dusk.
1 hourThe former capital with an ornate Jain temple, plus a stepwell garden closer to town.
1 hour together3,000 sq km of protected desert grassland. Morning safari for chinkara, desert fox and bustard. Permit needed.
Half day
Most people arrive knowing roughly how long they have and where they are coming from. Start there — each link opens the matching itinerary with a day-by-day plan and the current price.
Every Jaisalmer tour package price on this page covers transport, stay, entry coordination and taxes. Nothing is added at the camp gate, and nothing changes between the WhatsApp quote and the day you arrive.
October to March is the season — days around 22–28°C and cold desert nights near 5°C in December and January. February brings the Desert Festival. April to June crosses 45°C and most camps shut. July to September is quiet, cheaper and occasionally wet.
Jaisalmer Airport runs seasonal flights from Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Mumbai, mostly October to March. The overnight train from Delhi and Jaipur is the reliable route year-round. By road it is about 5 hours from Jodhpur, 6 from Bikaner, 10 from Jaipur.
Two nights covers the fort, the havelis and one night at the dunes without rushing. Three nights lets you add the Tanot and Longewala border run. One night works only for the camp, and only if you arrive on a morning train.
Layers, because the day-to-night swing is 15–20°C in winter. Closed shoes for the fort's stone lanes, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen and a scarf for the dune wind. Carry cash — network gets patchy past Sam.
Sam is larger and busier, with the full activity spread and bigger camps. Khuri sits 45 km south, quieter, with smaller family-run camps and much darker night skies. We operate at both, so tell us which you'd rather.
A small advance confirms your dates and the balance is payable on arrival by UPI, card or cash. Free cancellation up to 72 hours before check-in, outside the festival weeks.
The tents, the jeeps, the camels and the drivers are ours. That's the only reason we can quote a firm price on this page and still stand behind it when you arrive.
Every rate here is what you pay. Nothing gets added at the camp gate.
The same coordinator from enquiry to drop, on WhatsApp through your stay.
Commercially registered, insured and serviced, with district-permit drivers.
Female guests can request a female attendant at camp. Children under 5 stay free.
Booked the two-night package for my parents. The driver was on the platform before our train had stopped, and the tent had a proper bathroom, which mattered a lot to my mother. The price was exactly what was quoted on WhatsApp.Ramesh IyerChennai · December 2025
We did the Longewala and Tanot trip. Our driver had served in the area and told us more than the museum boards did. A long day, but worth every hour of it.Anjali & Vikram ShahAhmedabad · November 2025
Solo traveller here. I was nervous about the camp, but the team checked on me twice through the evening without making it awkward. Sunrise from the dunes was the highlight of my whole Rajasthan trip.Hannah WeberBerlin · February 2026
A Swiss tent with dinner, breakfast, camel safari and the cultural programme starts at ₹1,499 per person per night. Deluxe tents start at ₹2,400 and luxury air-conditioned tents at ₹4,200. Rates rise during the Desert Festival, Christmas week and long weekends.
Two nights and three days is the sweet spot. That covers Jaisalmer Fort, the havelis, Gadisar Lake and Bada Bagh on one day, and a full evening and night at Sam Sand Dunes on the other. Add a third night if you want the Tanot and Longewala border tour.
Yes. A handler walks alongside every camel and the animals move at walking pace on a fixed route. Children from about five years can ride with a parent. If anyone in the group is uncomfortable, we move them into a jeep at no extra cost.
Indian nationals need a photo ID, which we submit at the checkpoint on your behalf. Foreign nationals need prior clearance and passport details at least 48 hours in advance, and access to some points is at the discretion of the BSF on the day.
Sam has the bigger dunes, all the adventure activities and larger camps with full facilities, but it gets crowded at sunset. Khuri is quieter and better for stargazing and a slower evening. First-time visitors usually prefer Sam.
Yes, at any hour. Jaisalmer Airport transfers start at ₹600 for a sedan, and railway station pickups are often included free within packages of two nights or more. Send us your train or flight number and the driver will be waiting.
A small advance by UPI or bank transfer confirms the booking, and the balance is due on arrival by cash, card or UPI. Cancellations more than 72 hours before check-in are refunded in full, outside festival and peak dates.
Broadly yes, and it is a common solo destination. At our camp you can request a tent near the reception block and a female attendant on the evening shift. We share your driver's name, photo and vehicle number before every transfer.
Tell us how many people, which nights, and whether you want camping, sightseeing or a car for the whole trip. You'll get a written itinerary and a firm price, usually within the hour.
