Beautiful walk and discovery of rural life - We had a great day. Our guide was very friendly and showed us around his house and the school. Very nice camel ride! The visit to the temple does not take your breath away but it is on the way...

Camel ride and food with... - Camel ride and food with a lovely family, who invited us to their home and made us dinner. The safari tour afterwards was fun as well.

Must do to come down from the too much India! - We booked only the camel safari -which I would definitely recommend! Don’t do Jeep safari! Than you have half the time on the camel. The driver Virendra Singh was absolutely perfect. He was so good and we always felt save in the car even at the night! He also accompanied us to the Tempel. The Tempel is nice but we think that there are a lot of more worth seeing in Rajastan and the golde triangle. So don’t spend too much time there. Regarding the camels we were a bit concerned before - because often camels are treated badly for tourism purposes. But we had the impression that the camels are treated at least not bad. They had their own place at the home, the owner gave them a pause for drinking after the ride. You can never be sure 100% but it felt okay. The camel guide was super nice. He let us enjoy the safari with camels and nature in a calm way. You have to know before that there is not the typical desert. But noteworthy the landscape, more like a steppe, is really beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot! His family was super welcoming. When you have the time we would definitely recommend to stay there for a night (Dhanna Ram Ali Dhani home stay). It’s just a special place and it gives you a feeling of the true simple countryside life. The food was super delicious although it was quite a simple dish we would definitely recommend it - and even our weak European stomachs had no problems with it. For the way back you can chose between camel or jeep (depends on what you booked). We would defined recommend the camel. It’s unjust an amazing view with the sunset a the camels. At the end in our European eyes the price is valid the experience. Especially because it is a 1,5h in an AC car.

Beautiful cameltour! - The tour was amazing! The driver was very friendly and drove us safely to a pick up point in the desert. There we met two members of a family, who did the camel tour with us. I really enjoyed riding on the camel. The desert was peaceful and calm. After 45 minutes we arrived at the house of the family. It was super interesting and the food we ate was really delicious. After some time we rode back on the camels. It was incredibly beautiful while sunset. I really would recommend this experience!

Peaceful experience 😊 - It was such a nice experience! The driver, guide and familiy were so friendly and careful. For me it was a big highlight during my stay in Jodhpur. Being in the desert, seeing the life of people in the village was a pleasant change to the life in the big cities. I felt very grateful and peaceful after this ride on the camel during the sunset. Would recommend this experience everyone who stay in Jodhpur!

Awesome Experience - We had a driver which took us from Jodhpur to Osian. From there we were riding with the Camels through beautiful Desert-Landscapes to the Camel-Farm where the Family lives. There they cooked traditional food for us, which was delicious :) After that, riding back on the camels to the point where our driver was already waiting for us. It was possible to chance the scedule to our wishes and needs. It was all in all a fantastic Experience with nice and friendly people:)

Camel Tour - March 2024 - Me and my friend thoroughly enjoyed this tour! We were picked up promptly by our guide Ritesh who was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about any topic we discussed. Ritesh was a great guide throughout and such an asset to his organisation! I wasn’t feeling well, so we only opted for the camel tour/safari and not the addition of the jeep ride but if you can I’d say to do both. Despite being ill, the camel tour was great! The views of the landscape and wildlife in such peaceful surroundings was a refreshing change after two weeks of travelling different cities. The family too was incredibly friendly and invited us to view the kitchen where they made the food. As I was ill I didn’t eat which they completely understood, but my friend said the food was absolutely delicious and he finished his and mine! If you’re looking for things to do in Jodhpur I would definitely recommend this activity and Ritesh if he is available. We found this company to be reliable and very professional and we had great fun on the camel ride. Such a great experience!

Excellent excursion - Absolutely incredible Experience, booked this last minute and was the best decision made of my trip, our driver was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful bringing us all the way to the camel ride and temple, the jeep safari was brilliant and the camel ride was exceptional, the family that fed us in their home was amazing! They also have guest houses at the camel ride although I don't know where to book them. I would do this any time I return to Jodhpur. Another shout out to our wonderful guide and his lovely comfortable Air conditioned car!

Camel Safari, Jeep Safari, Dhana Family home experience - My husband and I are on a mini vacation after our recent wedding from the US, and we came to Jodhpur quite last minute to find this gem on trip advisor. First off, phenomenal customer service. I was unable to go on my scheduled day due to feeling unwell from travel, and they accommodated switching the tour for the next day. Then, a driver and tour guide picked us up from our hotel promptly on time and drove us to the Osian desert to our camels (Jigar and Michael Jackson) with Mr. Dhana. Mr. Dhanaji offered great care with our camels, who were so gentle and mine loved to be pet. The views were gorgeous, the great Feb weather made it even better! We ended the camel tour at Dhanaji family home, briefly met their sweet family, learned about their lives, had the most delicious tea and home-made food! Then we ended the tour with the jeep safari, which was a lot of fun! We got to cover a lot of the desert and also enjoy a beautiful sunset! All in all, a totally unique experience. We loved hearing about the family, their experiences, and their work! To clarify, Jodhpur has desert where we went, but it is not the sand dunes you imagine in Jaisalmer. Also they’ve been blessed with more rainfall the last several years, so this time of year you’ll see a lot more greenery and plant life than vast sand dunes. However, the views of the farmlands and wild life were spectacular, and food and hospitality is highly recommended from us! Recommendations: Comfortable shoes and outfits to sit on the camel. My flip flops were definitely going to plop off. I’d recommend sandals with straps and comfortable pants/shorts or cotton suits/dresses. Also, recommend a light jacket for the sunset as it tends to cool down and for the windy keep ride.

Great day exploring - Ray picked me up from my hotel, he arrived early so when I was ready, we could leave. Ray was a great guide through Jodhpur and Osyan. The temple was larger than others I've seen in this trip, with many shrines to explore. The camel was waiting to take me to the village. I quizzed Ashok, the camels owner, about the area and the plants. I joined his family for dinner, the main dish was carrot based which we had seen being harvested on the trip in. The sun was setting on the way back. The hour and a half camel ride was the right amount of time. It was a good break from the horns of the city. I would recommend this tour.
