The Itinerary: What to Expect

Your day begins with a hotel or station pickup in Jodhpur, arranged at your preferred time—making it flexible for your travel plans. From there, the journey to Osian is typically in a private car, which makes the trip comfortable and intimate. You’ll visit the Sachiya Mata Temple, a significant religious site with no guide included but plenty of visual and spiritual interest. The temple’s architecture and atmosphere are worth soaking in, even if you need to read up on its history later.

Next, it’s time for the jeep safari—the highlight of the day. The 45-minute ride across the dunes offers a thrilling way to experience Rajasthan’s desert landscape, with the chance to see the landscape from the height of a rugged vehicle as it bumps over dunes and dry riverbeds. Many reviews mention this as a “peak experience,” with the rugged terrain and open views truly capturing the spirit of the desert.

Following the jeep ride, you’ll hop onto a camel—a quintessential part of Rajasthan’s desert culture. The camel safari lasts around 30 to 40 minutes, providing a leisurely ride across the dunes with plenty of opportunities for photos. Riders note that staff are supportive, making even first-time camel riders feel at ease. The experience is completed with a spectacular sunset, as sands and skies change colors, creating a dreamlike backdrop.

Finally, you’ll return to your vehicle to head back to Jodhpur, often with a sense of having experienced something genuinely Rajasthani—without feeling overwhelmed or rushed.

Why We Love This Tour

First, the combination of jeep and camel rides means you get diverse perspectives on the desert environment. The jeep gives you the thrill of off-road adventure, while the camel ride offers a slower, more immersive look at the sands. Second, the personalized service — with an English-speaking driver-guide like Ray—means you get local insights and attention that large group tours often lack.

Many travelers praise the attentiveness of staff and guides, emphasizing how they adapt activities to your pace and interests. One reviewer mentions how the driver, Ray, was “super professional, always on point, and really knew everything about Rajasthan,” making the entire trip more enriching.

A Few Considerations

While the tour is well-loved, it’s worth noting that no guide is provided at the temple, so if you’re particularly interested in historical or religious details, you might need to do some extra research beforehand or ask your guide for tips during the drive. Also, the timing depends on your pickup, so you’ll want to confirm the schedule when booking.
