NAMASTE! The breathtaking journey across the Thar Desert (largest in the sub-continent) offers you a seemingly endless expanse of golden dunes. Explore the challenging landscape that the desert people call home and take in majestic sights, from stunning palaces and golden fortresses to highly ornate havelis (mansions) and, most significantly, the sand dunes, on this trip of a lifetime.

Riding vast dunes on camelback and spending the night in a desert tent in the middle of nowhere under the most spectacular skies you've ever seen is a magical experience that is widely regarded as one of, if not 'THE' highlight of a trip to the Thar Desert. You will feel as though time has stood still and you have been transported to a magical age. There's even more. Treat your palate to delicious, authentic cuisine and traditional music at various stops on this trip. A one-of-a-kind and distinctive desert experience awaits you!
