About this activity

Ride camels through the golden Thar Desert near Jodhpur while exploring ancient temples and rural Rajasthani villages in a single afternoon. This private tour combines authentic desert safari with cultural immersion, culminating in sunset views from camelback.

Camel Safari is the most wanted activity and the one that guests like the most. I am willing to help you discover the most desert rural area and the holy and oldest Hindu temple in a living city.
Our tour starts with pick up from your place/hotel in the afternoon. Then we go to Mandore and after that we will go to visit Osian. In Osian you will visit temples and enjoy the camel riding in the desert during the lovely sunset.
