Sunglasses, sunhat, and scarf. (We don’t recommend that you wear contact lenses as the very fine sand can easily get behind them. Please bring your prescription glasses instead.)
During winter, a warm jacket or shawl for the evening and early morning.
Toiletries.
A torch (flashlight) – no light source is available at the campsite.

Music & Dance Programmes: This consists of a groups of 4/5 singers, dancers and musicians from the local gypsy community, performing Marwari music and playing traditional instruments. The performance lasts for approximately two hours.
We can arrange a private performance for you/your group, or you can choose to share the performance with any other guests who happen to be on safari with you. Please note that guests who have not specifically requested the music & dance programme may choose to contribute but are under no obligation to share the cost.
Please ask for current prices.
Non-Veg: Our regular trips come with vegetarian food (daal, rice, chapatti, vegetables curries, pakora etc.) Non-veg can be provided as well for an additional cost. Both mutton and chicken are available and will be cooked fresh at the campsite. Please enquire for further details.
Camel Carts: Our camel carts can seat a maximum of 4 people, and are suggested for those who might not want to ride camels for long periods of time, and for groups with young children but that will cost extra.
Private Safari: Usually we will form a group from the guests who book for a particular day, but if you’d prefer a private trip – riding and camping away from other guests – this can be arranged at additional cost. Just let us know at the time of booking.
Note: you may have to share a jeep with other customers unless you wish to pay for the hire of a private jeep. We require a minimum of two people to arrange a private safari.
Children: Children aged 4-6 are half-price and must share a camel with a responsible adult guardian. Children aged 7 and over are charged full price and can ride their own camel at their guardian’s discretion. There is no charge for children under the age of 4. We do not recommend overnight safaris for very young children, but are happy to recommend our half day tour. For safety reasons, children under the age of 4 will not be permitted to ride camels, even when accompanied by an adult, as both parties need to be capable of holding on to the saddle horn/ropes for the duration of the ride. They must remain in the jeep and be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times.
Campfire: Campfires are lit during the winter months (approximately November – February, dependent on the weather). We do not light a campfire during the summer months as the light can draw insects to the campsite. Please note that, for the same reason, no fixed light source is available at the campsite: we recommend that you bring your own torch (flashlight), but to limit its use.
Jeep-only option: While the desert landscape is best experienced from the back of a camel, the jeep is available for anyone who cannot or does not wish to ride. If you would like to try a shorter ride at the dunes, just to get a taste of camel riding, this can be arranged. Please note that the jeep route is mostly on roads and farm tracks – it does not follow the camel route and is not a dedicated ‘jeep safari’ as such: just an alternative means of reaching the campsite.
Facilities PLEASE NOTE: There are no washing/bathroom facilities available after leaving Jaisalmer. Please try to minimize the use of toilet paper: it spoils the dunes and is difficult and unpleasant for our staff to clean up. We recommend that you adopt the local method of washing with water. If you do use toilet paper, please do not bury it or leave it in the open: either bag-and-bin or burn it (we can provide matches). Wet wipes must be bagged and returned to town for disposal.
Please help us to keep the desert tidy by returning all your litter to camp.
The Agency will not be responsible and liable for any problems associated with the consumption of alcohol or drugs during the trip.
The Agency does not accept responsibility for any adverse weather you might encounter during your safari.
We have our own professional guides & drivers so drivers and guides from outside are not allowed on our safaris.
We ask you not to compare Thar Desert with Sahara Desert or Egyptian sand dunes.
This is a real adventure desert safari so there are no washroom, no electricity and no mobile network available.
You will sleep under the millions of star.
In this package we pick up our guest at 2 PM from the Gateway Jaisalmer Registered Office which is located at Mali Para, Near ICICI Bank ATM, Jaisalmer or we pick up our guest from our registered hotel partner or we pick up them from their hotel.
