7.Bishnoi Village Safari Private Half Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 26 reviews · 3 hours · from $20Best value

Travel by private jeep from Jodhpur to Guda Bishnoiyan, Kakani, and Salawas with an English-speaking guide. Look for blackbuck, meet Bishnoi families, see block printing, try pottery, and watch interlock carpet weaving. Guide Om may lead the tour and can add useful family insight.

“The trip was nice overall. We found that the pictures on the website did not match our experience of the « safari ». Out of the 2 village we were supposed to see, we only went to one, and it was more the yard of a house . We felt a bit uneasy to be brought into their home to look at one « private » ceremony. I have nothing against the Guide or the villagers, but we were a bit taken aback.”

8.Desert Jeep Safari & Camel Safari Tour From Jodhpur

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $21

Leave Jodhpur by private car for Osian’s Sachiya Mata Temple, then switch to a jeep for 45 minutes of sandy adventure and a 30 to 40 minute camel ride. Ray, also known as Ritesh, and drivers such as Govind Singh have earned praise for friendly service and safe driving. Expect scrubby dunes, not endless Sahara sands.

“The car ride was clean and comfortable to the village. The jeep and camel safari were fun. Ray was very friendly and helpful. If you are expecting endless dunes of desert, that is not what this is. There’s lots of sand dunes but fairly well covered with scrub vegetation. Altogether fun”
