Desert camps & stays in Jaisalmer
A night on the dunes is the heart of most trips; a night below the fort is the other half. Filter by type or area, then ask us for a quote at our local rate.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to stay at Sam or Khuri?
Sam has bigger dunes and more activity; Khuri is quieter with a village next door. Both are about an hour from the city.
What is included in a desert camp stay?
Usually dinner, breakfast, evening tea and a folk music and dance programme. Camel rides and jeep safaris are often extra — ask before you book.
Are desert camps open all year?
Most camps run from about October to March. Many close or scale down from April to September because of the heat.
Should I stay inside Jaisalmer Fort?
It is atmospheric, but the fort is a fragile living monument and heavy water use strains it. Staying just below the fort gives the same views with fewer downsides.
How do I pay for my stay?
You book and pay us directly: a deposit by UPI, bank transfer or a secure link confirms the room or tent, and the balance is usually paid on arrival. Asking for a quote is free.
