Jaisalmer

Our jeep will pick you up at 1.30pm and set off to a remote area for a camel ride. Our priority is to give you a truly authentic experience in the Thar desert, and we choose less traveled routes to give you a real taste of the solitude of the desert. Most human contact while on trail will be locals commuting between villages and members of our team.

Highlights

monument visits, camel ride, sunset in the desert, dinner

Kuldhara Abandoned Village - 17th century village belongs to Paliwal brahmins, the late prime minister imposed taxes and torture the villagers, there were around 84 villages of the same community. They left because of humiliation by PM. It is one example of an abandoned village.
After visit Kuldhara, our jeep will take you directly to our part of Sanddunes, here you will do 2 hours camel ride till sunset. After the Sunset, we will make a camp where we will cook the vegetarian dinner and request our guest to participate with us to learn India cooking.

Bada Bagh - Literally translates to ‘Big Garden’. Maharaja Jai Singh II wanted to create a garden in the desert so he commissioned this land to create a water tank in the 16th century. Later on, cenotaphs were built here for the royal family.

the most amazing night ever - We had the chance/ honnor to try the experience proposed by Meri haveli and Fifu, one night under the stars... it was just amazing experience (2nd time for me, 1st for my friend) we reached sand dunes by camel, this is also very funny and comfortable, not too hot because it's happening 2nd half of the day, very pleasant, very calm. Once arrived in the dunes, everything is ready to welcome us, the beds, a chai, very nice and kind people (just 2 lol, it's far enough), we could talk, cook with us, and enjoy the sunset in the dunes... The show is far to be ended, then you can enjoy the moon rise, and the stars who are coming with the night, it's so wonderful... under the blanket, you watch the magic show of mother nature... at the end of th world, in India, that's just... priceless...Mr Shoda is caring for you everytime, he's just wonderful guy The dinner was just so good!!! we had eggplants curry, dhal, rice, and chapatis, alll this, in full desert... I recommend an application which is called skyview (free app), so that you can recognize each star and constellation, their trajectory, compare to horizon line, some planets we can also see: jupiter, venus... I warmly and highly recommend this tour, authentic, nothing touristic here, or not that much, you feel fully in connection with nature... bed is comfortable, sheets, balnkets, pillow, so so good... thks to you guys for those beautiful moments Elodie and Christelle (if needed you can contact me in french)

Great night under the stars with our children - We had an incredible night in the desert with our children aged 4 and 7. The Fifu team was great. We left our hotel by jeep to move away from Jaisalmer, we visited a fort on the way, an abandoned village and, once in the desert far enough, we reached the camp area on camelback. Our 7 year old was able to have his own (small) camel, he was delighted! His brother rode with me. We ate very well and the children slept in a tent, us under the stars.
