Camel Safari

Published on June 17, 2025

Imagine yourself atop a gentle camel, swaying rhythmically across rippling dunes at Sam Sand Dunes Jaisalmer. As part of your Jaisalmer camel safari—a vital experience within our Tour My Holiday Jaisalmer package—you follow ancient trade routes, tracing sands that once led caravans between kingdoms. With every step, you feel the heartbeat of the desert, a living pulse connecting past and present.

For travelers arriving via a Jaisalmer tour package from Delhi, this is no ordinary ride—it’s a timeless journey. Paired with excursions like the Jaisalmer Fort tour and Jaisalmer desert safari, the camel expedition becomes the emotional and sensory highlight of your adventure.

1. The Allure of Camels in the Desert

Camels are called the “ships of the desert” for a reason: they glide over dunes, stable and serene, with a grace that complements the landscape itself.

• Trained Experts: Our experienced camel mahalas (handlers) guide you with care. Their knowledge of the Thar’s patterned sands ensures smooth, safe traversing.

• Various Safari Options: Choose a swift two-hour ride for sunset views, a half-day trek with picnic stops, or an overnight expedition rooted in camping culture.

• Day-to-Night Continuum: You might begin your journey as the golden sun sends long shadows across dunes, then continue under the rosy glow of sunrise—your camel safari stretching across desert time.

2. Embarking from Sam Sand Dunes Jaisalmer

At dusk, the dunes transform into a canvas of rich sands and cooling air. Your camel trek, included in the Jaisalmer desert safari, begins:

• Sunset Sojourn: You ascend dunes as colors shift—from honey to rust to violet. The silence is broken only by the soft camel breathing and shifting sands.

• Bonus Heritage Stops: Along the route, your guide shares desert folk stories, pointing out relics of ancient caravan stops or small desert plants prized for nomadic tribes.

3. Nightfall & Desert Camp Experience

Many of our TourMyHoliday Jaisalmer packages include overnight camel safaris:

• Overnight in Tented Luxury: After dusk, you’re settled into comfortable desert camps.

• Cultural Evening: Gather by firelight for soulful folk tunes and swirling Kalbelia dances—indigenous arts that echo the dunes’ curves.

• Star-Gazed Silence: Free from light pollution, the night sky feels meteoric. Identify constellations, share stories, or simply lose yourself in endless galaxies.

4. Sunrise Return Ride

Early morning adds a new dimension to your safari:

• Rose-Golden Dawn: Watch the desert respond to first light—cool blues of night dissolve into golden hues.

• Fresh Camel Trek: Camels, well-rested and sure-footed, retrace your tracks back to camp or to Jaisalmer, offering a meditative close to your journey.
