Sunset camel rides, thrilling jeep safaris and overnight desert camps in the heart of the Thar — planned by locals who know every dune by name.
A Full Day Camel Safari in Jaisalmer is a great choice for travellers who want to spend more time in the Thar Desert instead of taking only a short camel ride. Unlike a regular sunset safari, a full-day experience can include a village visit, long camel rides, desert meals, time to relax in the dunes, and a second ride to a sunset viewpoint.
The exact duration depends on the safari operator and itinerary. Current full-day options range from about 6 hours to 10–15 hours, while some one-day programs run from early morning until around 9:30 PM.

A typical full-day camel safari can be planned as:

Lunch and rest: Around 2–3 hours
Afternoon camel ride: Around 1–2 hours

Another one-day camel safari starts around 6:30 AM and ends around 9:30 PM, allowing travellers to experience both sunrise and sunset in the desert.
