What is the cost of Jaisalmer Desert Safari from Delhi?

The Rajasthan Desert Safari is one of India's most magical and iconic experiences, gliding over golden sand dunes of the Thar Desert, watching breathtaking sunsets, riding camels, dune bashing in jeeps, and spending a night under a star-filled sky with bonfire, folk music, and authentic Rajasthani culture.

The heart of it all is Jaisalmer (the Golden City), especially the famous Sam Sand Dunes (about 40–45 km from Jaisalmer city), which offer the most dramatic, expansive dunes and the classic "desert vibe." Other spots like Khuri (quieter, less crowded), Osian (near Jodhpur, more authentic village feel), and areas around Bikaner provide great alternatives if you want to escape the crowds.

Here are some beautiful luxury desert camp setups with bonfire and cultural performances:

Top Types of Desert Safari Experiences

• Camel Safari → The most romantic & traditional (short 30–60 min rides or multi-hour/overnight treks).

• Jeep Safari (Dune Bashing) → Thrilling 4x4 rides over the dunes — fast, bumpy, and super fun!

• Quad Bike / ATV → Adrenaline rush for those who want to drive themselves.

• Overnight Camping → Stay in luxury tents, enjoy cultural shows (Kalbelia dance, folk music), bonfire, and delicious Rajasthani thali dinner (dal baati churma, ker sangri, gatte ki sabzi).

• Sunrise / Sunset Special → Best times for photos and peace.
