Jaisalmer desert and sunset camel ride experience - Our guide Khabir was outstanding. His knowledge of the local culture, village life and the stops he made added richly to our experience. The camel ride and sunset on the dunes were also great memories.

Most beautiful desert tour with well treated Camels - This was the best tour I have ever taken with camels (and I have done many). I say this because not only is the price good, but the camels are treated better than any camels I have ever seen. Abdullah is wise and speaks great English and treats the camels like his own children, really showing them so much love. They were not constrained and he often gave them wood and water and let them roam. Moreover, he really listens to everything you need and sets up the best lunch and sleeping spots. His food was also delicious. So if you go with Thar Desert Tours, ask to go with Abdullah :) Also if you come in December, make sure to bring extra warm clothes as it gets very cold at night (they have blankets, but it is still good to have clothes). Abdullah recommended that the best time frame to venture out to understand the region is from 4-14 days, but they also do 1 day to 3 week tours.
The best part was how secluded my sister and I were from everything, sleeping on a mattress in the desert is more beautiful in my opinion than any campsite, because you can see the beautiful stars. :)
Thank you for a beautiful experience!

An evening to remember - I have been in Jaisalmer many times but this time I was with my family for vacation. The program started post lunch, first we visited some monuments like Badabagh, fort, lake and empty villages like Kuldhara before reaching Sam. As this location is far from the noisy and over populated Sam resort. So you will feel free and calm. One can enjoy the serenity of dunes.
The experience in Sam dunes where amazing especially for family and kids. They were overjoyed to see the sand dunes for the first time. More overjoyed with camel ride as it was their first experience. Be it a gazing sky, camel ride, sand dunes, awesome meal and an amazing cultural show.
All the needs taken care by Fifu Camel Safari especially the safety & security of the guest.
God bless the team of FCS.

Awesome - The camel safari was great, the entertainment in the evening was good and the food was very tasty. They have nice tents and are very comfortable. Equally, the attractions we saw on our way there were very interesting.

Experience culture and Thar Desert - I have been to many places in India and outside but I have not found as safe as I did in Jaisalmer. Cherry on the cake is FIFU ji himself. He provided us the most comfortable stay and suggested the best activities given our hectic work from home schedules and the interest to explore. This experience was his recommendation. At the experience in Sam (sand dunes), we enjoyed star gaze when lights were off, camel ride, sand, an awesome meal and an amazing cultural show (I have seen many Rajasthani performances on multiple trips (including those at five stars), none brought tears of happiness, this is how much I was in awe of the art that was displayed. God bless the entire team. You are great because you take care.
