Jodhpur & Jaisalmer Desert Trail
Jodhpur – Jaisalmer – Sam Dunes – Jodhpur
Two of Rajasthan's most cinematic cities joined by open desert. Start below the colossal walls of Mehrangarh in Jodhpur, drive across the Thar to the living fort of Jaisalmer, then sleep a night at the Sam dunes under a sky full of stars. Dal baati with the locals, sunset camel safaris, and a tempo just fast enough to enjoy.

What Our Travellers Say
Mehrangarh at 9am empty, the desert camp under a full moon — the two most magical moments of our trip. The folk singers were incredible.
Blue city, golden city, star city. Transfers were punctual to the minute and the camp dinner was proper home food, not tourist buffet. Highly recommend.
Great circuit and a lovely balance of forts and dunes. Kids demanded a 4x4 ride over the dunes — easily arranged at the camp.
