Welcome to Camel Safari Jaisalmer

Camel Safari in Jaisalmer

A Camel Safari in Jaisalmer is one of the best ways to experience the beauty of the Thar Desert. Riding a camel across the golden sand dunes gives you a chance to enjoy the peaceful desert landscape and see a different side of Rajasthan. It is a simple and memorable experience for families, couples, friends, and solo travellers.

The most popular places for camel safaris are Sam Sand Dunes and Khuri Sand Dunes, located outside Jaisalmer city. The safari usually starts in the afternoon or evening when the weather becomes more comfortable. The camel slowly moves across the dunes while you enjoy the wide desert views. One of the most beautiful times for a camel safari is sunset. As the sun moves towards the horizon, the colour of the sand changes from bright golden to orange. You can stop on a high dune, take photographs and enjoy the quiet surroundings. The sunset creates a beautiful backdrop for a memorable desert experience.

A typical camel safari can last around 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the package and route. Short rides are suitable for travellers who want a quick desert experience, while longer safaris provide more time to explore the dunes. For a complete evening, camel safari can be combined with a desert camp stay and traditional Rajasthani dinner. After the ride, guests can enjoy folk music, Kalbelia dance, cultural performances and a bonfire at the camp. Some packages also include tea, snacks and dinner.

The best time for a camel safari is generally from October to March, when temperatures are more pleasant. Wear comfortable clothes, carry sunglasses and keep drinking water with you. Whether you choose a short camel ride or a sunset safari with dinner, a Camel Safari in Jaisalmer offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the Thar Desert, traditional Rajasthan and the peaceful beauty of the golden dunes.
