Half Day Sunrise Safari
Experience the Magic of the Thar at Dawn
Join us for an unforgettable half-sunrise Safari in the golden dunes of Jaisalmer. This early morning journey begins before sunrise, offering breathtaking views as the first light washes over the vast desert landscape. Feel the peace and stillness of the dunes as you travel by camel and jeep, discovering the timeless charm of the Thar Desert in its quietest hours.
This short safari is ideal for travelers who want an authentic desert experience without committing to a full-day or overnight excursion. It’s especially suited for families with younger children and travelers short on time.
Family-Friendly Guidelines
Children’s Participation & Safety
-
Children under 5 years are not permitted to ride camels for safety reasons. They must remain in the jeep, always accompanied by an adult.
-
Children aged 5 to 8 years are welcome at half-price, but must share a camel with a responsible adult.
-
Children 8 years and older are charged full price and may ride their own camel, at the guardian’s discretion.
We recommend this half-day safari as a safe and enjoyable option for families with young children, as it avoids the rigors of overnight desert stays.
Seasonal Campfire Experience
From November to February, guests can enjoy a warm campfire in the dunes, adding to the charm of chilly desert mornings. Please note that campfires are not available in summer to prevent attracting insects with light.
Facilities in the Desert
After leaving Jaisalmer, no formal restroom or washing facilities are available. Guests are expected to use nature responsibly. We request minimal use of toilet paper and urge all guests to help us maintain the desert's cleanliness and beauty.

To ensure a safe and comfortable experience, we recommend you pack the following:
-
Light, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, and closed shoes

Basic toiletries
