About this experience
Start the tour with jeep and You’ll visit landmarks like the abandoned, centuries-old village of Kuldhara, jessiri pond (oasis middle of thar desert) before continuing to the golden dunes of the Thar Desert. It’s an overnight desert experience where you sleep outdoors on sand dunes, with no roof above you—just the open sky under the stars. Far from city lights, the desert offers incredibly clear views of stars, constellations, and sometimes even the Milky Way. You reach the dunes by camel safari usually in the late afternoon As the sun sets, there’s time to tea and snacks, relax, take photos, and enjoy the silence. Camel man make traditional fresh food on wood fire, and after the dinner sleep under the stars and enjoy the starry night on charpais (cots) or thick mattresses. Warm blankets (desert nights can get chilly, especially in winter). Deep silence, broken only by desert winds. The next morning—after tea, breakfast you’ll return to your hotel.

What you'll see and do
Kuldhara Abandoned Village
According to local folklore, the village was deserted overnight in the early 19th century. Salim Singh, the then Diwan (minister) of Jaisalmer, allegedly sought to marry the daughter of the village chief. When the villagers refused, he threatened them with severe consequences. To protect their honor, the villagers, along with those from 83 neighboring hamlets, fled, cursing the land to remain desolate forever. The village's eerie silence and abandoned structures have fueled numerous ghost stories. Visitors and paranormal enthusiasts report hearing voices, feeling sudden chills, and witnessing unexplained phenomena. In 2013, a Delhi-based paranormal team claimed their drone malfunctioned over the village, attributing it to supernatural interference.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaisalmer.
How much does Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaisalmer usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping take?
+
Plan for about 18 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaisalmer is not rushed.
Is Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaisalmer, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 18-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaisalmer can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaisalmer and add a light layer if any part of the 18-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Non-touristic Overnight Desert Safari and camping start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaisalmer within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jaisalmer?
+
On Outty we rank every Jaisalmer experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Overnight Camel Safari - Sleeping under the Stars, Adventure non touristic camel safari, Overnight Desert Safari Tour Package. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jaisalmer?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jaisalmer?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
