Jodhpur Safaris: 7 Worth Flying For

1.Desert Camel Safari Day Tour In Jodhpur

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 161 reviews · from $24Our pick

Travel from Jodhpur to Osian by private car, visit Sachiya Mata Temple, and choose a camel ride, jeep safari, buffet dinner, and folk dance. Pickup is offered from hotels, the airport, railway station, or bus station. The outing lasts about five to seven hours, but Osian has open scrub and sand rather than towering dunes.

“Our guide was lovely and his family were welcoming. The food was amazing. We would have liked the ride to go further into the desert and wouldn’t take the jeep experience again as it literally just meant we drove in a jeep back to the starting point. The trip was well organised with transfers”

The atmosphere is calm and a nice break from busy city life. Everyone was extremely friendly and hospitable and the food delicious! We also got to experience an afternoon English class with the local village children and learn more about the lives of the people living here. Everything was well organised and the ride to and from Jodhpur in a comfortable, air conditioned car. The camel ride was awesome! We are really grateful for this special experience and recommend to everyone. Thank…”
