The best in hospitality - I traveled with my wife and 3yr old kid. This is the best tour operator i had ever seen . The driver they alloted us was very much knowledgeable and had a very good communication skill, They treated tourist as part of their family . Am basically a south indian from Tirunelveli,Tamilnadu but I didn't face any kind of Language problem bcoz of the fine management and multilingual driver. Over all the experience is excellent and this Jailsalmer visit wil b always close to my heart and remembered for many years. I referred this travels to my frens, hope to travel again soon or earlier in the golden sands of Thar.

Warm and caring taxi service - I plan well in advance and got in touch with Om Prakash through Tripadvisor reviews. He was very professional and clear in his communications. I took his taxi with Bhakar Ram, the seasoned driver for three days on a long tour of Barmer, Ranakpur, Udaipur, Kumbalgarh and Jodhpur. The tariff was reasonable and I had a totally enjoyable trip of Rajasthan and thank Om Prakash for giving me a wonderful driver in Bhakar, fluent in English and a warm person. En route Barmer we had to pass through Bhakar's village and I admit that I had one of the best lunches in Rajasthan at his home with Bajra roti dipped in desi ghee, sabzi and dahi. Om Prakash was checking often about my comfort during the trip and it was clear that he was very involved in the safety and happiness of his clients. In fact, he even refused to take any advance from me for this long trip. It is people like Om Prakash and Bhakar who carry the torch of tourism. Truly humble and warm people. Just to know you are in safe hands at a far off place is greatly reassuring. I really feel this agency deserves a higher ranking.

Jaisalmer with bhakar ram ji - We were on vacation to Jaisalmer from 8th oct to 10 th oct, 2022. Based on recommendation, we booked dates with Mr. Bhakar Ram (9509175597) in advance two months.
After meeting him, we are convinced that our family got the best driver, a simple, down to earth, good person, an artist himself.
He understands our requirement of experiencing local traditionalJaisalmer food, places etc and got the best place to eat traditional food, lassi, etc.
Experienced jaisalmet fort, barr ka haveli, jain temple, laungewala war memorial, a must visit place to know the bravery and sacrifices of our soldiers.
Went for a desert camp at choki dhani, a good place to stay. We requested bhakar ram ji to play his instrument sitting in sam dunes, a memorable experience of local music that too on full moon day!!!!.
A must visit to tonat, gantiala temple, bawlyn,.
Not to miss pakwaana and kachori near fort area which bhakar ram will take if you like to enjoy local food.
You ask him and we will take to that place in jaisalmer and will be satisfied visit.
Our family overall experience with bhakar ram is excellent. Strongly recommends the family, who wish to explore jaisalmer local relax way..

I returned back into... - I returned back into Jaisalmer city from a desert tour, checked into my hotel, and Prakash's driver came to pick me up at the hotel. His English wasn't great, which normally isn't an issue, but when he dropped me at the old fort and said "go into fort," I was taken aback.
The listing says "Jaisalmer Sightseeing Tour" - which implies there's. a tour. There is not.
There is a car, which is helpful. By the way, you don't need a service to set up a car. You can Uber VERY easily in India without need for a private car and for much cheaper.
I texted the tour company and Prakash arranged a tour guide on very short notice - Om Shanti - who was very friendly and welcoming. He gave me a very in depth history on the fort and the area and also escorted me to Gadisar Lake (which was really not worth seeing). Shanti did make a few odd comments about his distaste for certain ethnic groups in the area and also saying Chinese people eat dogs (just unnecessary).
