From about ₹3,800 per person for a group of six, and about ₹5,200 per person for two Indian adults. The table above shows every group size.

When can I do this trip?

Desert camps mostly run from October to March, so this package is best in those months. Outside the season we can suggest a resort instead of a tent.

Is the price the same on all dates?

No. Christmas–New Year and the Desert Festival cost more; weekdays in shoulder months can be cheaper.
