1.Jodhpur: Overnight Stay in Desert with Camel Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 53 reviews · 20 hours · from $35Our pick

Spend a night with a Rajasthani family near Osian, ride camels at sunset, eat home-cooked food, and sleep under desert stars.

“We were picked up in Jodhpur with a very comfortable car and made our way to Osian where we had time to visit the temple. We then headed to the Balaji family‘s home where we were greeted with a warm welcome. We had a 2 hour camel ride and then we were able to see how the traditional food was made. Overall we felt very welcomed and it was super interesting to see what the rural life in India is like”

2.Fullday pushkar tour from jaipur with guid+camel/jeep safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 12 reviews · 10 - 30 hours · from $49

Review of a private Jaipur to Pushkar day tour with Brahma Temple, sacred lake, sunset views, English guide, camel and jeep safari options.

“Ik betaalde €94 voor een “volledige dagtour” naar Pushkar met gids, kamelenrit én jeep. Dit werd niet geleverd zoals beschreven. De gidsbegeleiding duurde minder dan 1 uur. Bovendien begon de gids een fysieke ruzie bij een tempel, wat zeer onprofessioneel en ongemakkelijk was. De kamelenrit vond plaats midden op de dag (niet bij zonsondergang), duurde ongeveer 30 minuten en de begeleider sprak geen Engels. We reden eerst langs de gewone weg en onderweg werd meerdere keren om extra geld gevraagd (o.a. voor foto’s en kleding). De jeep-rit bleek niet automatisch inbegrepen, ondanks de omschrijving, en moest ik zelf aankaarten. Ook die duurde slechts ongeveer 30 minuten. Het voelde alsof alles…”

3.Dazzling Half Day Camel & Desert Safari With Sunset & Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $32Top rated

Ride camels across Rajasthan’s Thar Desert, watch sunset over the dunes, visit Kuldhara, and share a wood-fire dinner under the stars.

“We were excited about the camel ride in the desert, the sunset was amazing. Visiting the desert itself was an amazing experience. Visiting the "cursed" abandoned village was also interesting. The show in the evening with traditional music and then with dancing and a fire show was worth watching. Extra thanks to Marvin, who accommodated us in everything and added a perfect explanation. Dinner was just the perfect icing on the cake.”

5.Camel Sunset Safari Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 7 reviews · 2 hours · from $26Best value

Ride a camel beyond Pushkar, visit rural villages and farms, then sip tea as the sun sets over the desert for $26.

“Fantastic camel safari. Karan collected us from our hotel and we walked around the city to the camel rest area. We were then helped onto the camels before starting our safari. The tour started around the outskirts of town before reaching the desert where we had an incredible view of the pink sunset. There was an opportunity to try on a gypsy costume and ride an ATV in the desert, before heading back to the rest spot and then back to the hotel. Our camel guides were so lovely and we saw lots of friendly people through the town and in the desert. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure!”

6.Full-Day City Tour with Camel Ride and Monkey Temple

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 4 reviews · from $113

Explore Jaipur’s Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal, camel rides, Monkey Temple, lunch, and shopping in one full day.

“Everything OK. The guide kindly gave me the opportunity to choose what to do in the remaining time, accompanying me and guiding me to an unexpected place, but strangely he didn't take me to the monkey temple but to the sun temple, on the monkey mountain. For the rest, all ok”

7.Ajmer & Pushkar Day Trip with Lunch & Camel ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 3 reviews · from $30

Visit Ajmer’s Sufi shrine and historic mosque, then Pushkar’s Brahma Temple, lake, bazaar, and camel ride on a Jaipur day trip.

“We visited all the sights mentioned in the description. The driver was friendly, but his company hadn't told him which tour we had booked, so we had to act as tour guides, so to speak. Since we didn't have a guide, this was a bit annoying. Personally, I didn't find the sights particularly interesting, and they weren't worth the long drive. We would only recommend the trip with a guide or simply book a taxi for significantly less money.”
