Overview
Our Overnight Walking Safari has been thoughtfully designed for animal lovers and travellers who wish to experience the desert without riding a camel, while discovering the traditional way local camel men journey across the Thar.
Walk through changing desert landscapes, from rocky stretches and quiet wilderness to sweeping sand dunes. Accompanied by experienced local guides, the journey offers an intimate glimpse into desert life before spending the night beneath the stars in warm and comfortable bedding.
Before beginning your walk towards the dunes, you’ll also visit Khaba and a natural oasis that remains an important source of water for local birds, wildlife and nearby desert communities.
