This was an unforgettable... - This was an unforgettable experience. We could not have asked for a better guide than Ukka. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in great hands. Amazing food, incredible views of the stars, a memory we will cherish forever.

Flexible and tasty - we have 6 years boy. We worried if he can ride camel properly, he can eat something, he enjoy.
But tour guide provide everything and it was amazing experience.
Riding camel was not so difficult even for children.
I ordered non spicy food and guide cooked well. Daal masara was so tasty. Guide provided us special tent if you require. No problem for sleep. I slept under star bed. It was very cold so special worming wear should be prepared.
In morning, again camel ride.
My boy got stomach aches and having wild toilet.
We told them to stop riding camel then suddenly guide come bu jeep to pick us up.
Thank you for Very good and flex hospitality

From (non-)tourists to desert people - If you're looking for a truly amazing experience, this safari is the one to go with. We visited several archaeological sights while on our way to the desert, made it on the camel to one of the few sand dunes at this time of the year, enjoyed a simple but good dinner and then just watched the stars. The next morning we went back first on the camels and then later in the jeep. The staff was super friendly and caring, and we had a lot of fun with the main guide Ukka.
Just a warning: Camel riding is not the most comfortable thing you'll ever have done!

Sleeping under the stars. - It really was a very different tour and outside the tourist flows.
In total we were a group of 4.
We started the tour at the hotel, we were taken by 4x4 in a lagoon, a fort and reached the starting point where 4 camels were waiting.
We made a 30-minute camel tour to the dunes, where the guide waited with a good tea massala tea and snacks.
We had a little time to enjoy the space until dinner. Local food and fortunately we were asked the level of spiciness.
When we finished dinner we already had the space to sleep prepared. We separated the two couples and the installation was magnificent box springs with mattresses and blankets under a good starry sky.
Wonderful.
The morning we woke up in that nice open space the guide had already prepared another tea massala while he had just made breakfast.
We ate and started the camel return with 30 minutes more walk.
Upon returning to the hotel, we were offered a shower, which was a luxury as in the desert there was quite a lot of humidity and the feeling of sweat, coming out and the accumulated humidity was something we wanted to get rid of.
It is an experience that we recommend 100% for those who want to live something different.

Great staff👍 - The tour staff and owner were all very kind, making it a memorable trip. The train arrived at 5am, but we were able to use the hotel, which was the waiting area, even at that time. It was also nice to be able to take a clean shower.
Seeing a shooting star in the desert is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you very much.

An extraordinary experience which was very well organised - .Uka, my driver brought me first by jeep to Kuldhara, an a banded village. The next stop was the Jassery oasis where some women and children danced by the waterside. A magical experience. Next and final stop was a short visit to Khabarovsk Fort, which was really in the middle of nowhere.
One hour later we arrived at the spot where the camel driver was waiting for us. My camel was a bit irritated at first but fortunately his driver kept him under control so I could enjoy the ride. It was a rather uncomfortable drive, at least if you are not used to it, but one hour later we arrived at our overnight camp in the Thar desert, on top of some lovely sand dunes.
It turned out to be the perfect spot to watch the sun setting whilst my dinner was being freshly cooked on a bonfire and I was enjoying a cold Kingfisher they had brought for me.
What a lovely evening and with it being full moon there was plenty of light to see the surroundings but also the starts. My bed had been prepared with fresh bedding on top of a sanddune. The view over the desert was simply breathtaking and that. Night I went to bed with an enourmous smile in my face.
Next morning I was woken up by Uka who was bringing me a cup of tea. Another moment I will never forget, the sun was already set and magical colours filled the air.
After breakfast we returned for the 2 hour drive back to the hotel.
The safari was a big success, everything was perfectly organised, food plenty and tasty. The best without doubt was sleeping over I under the stars. Magic pure magic.
I can highly rec this extraordinary experience
