The desert

Eight ways to spend a night in the Thar.

Five run overnight, two get you back the same night, and one keeps you out for three days. All of them are priced per person, and the jeep, the camel, your dinner and the taxes are already inside that price. Open a card to read the whole inclusion list, or follow it through for the hour-by-hour.

In town

The hotel on Fort Road.

A short walk from the fort, and the reason a night in the desert works at all: somewhere to shower before you go, leave your bags while you are out there, and sleep the night your train arrives or leaves.

These are starting rates. What a room actually costs moves with your dates and how many of you there are — October to March is the busy half of the year here. Ask on any card and you will have the real figure the same day, in writing, before you commit to anything.

Before you pick one

What the cards don’t tell you.

Every rate on this page in one table, what the same things cost if you arrange them yourself at Sam, and how to check that any camp in Jaisalmer — ours included — is what it says it is.

Not sure which one

Tell us who's coming.

How many of you, which nights, and whether anyone needs a washroom a few steps away rather than a dune. We will tell you which of the three actually suits you, including when the answer is none of them.
