Our Thar Desert Jeep Safari – What an Experience

Desert Jeep Safari in the Golden City of Jaisalmer

If you’re looking for an adventure in the Golden City of Jaisalmer, you must go on a desert jeep safari! A desert jeep safari is one of the most popular tourist attractions here, and for a good reason.

I went on a desert jeep safari in Jaisalmer with my friend Raj, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. From the moment we stepped into a jeep safari, the excitement just kept growing. Our driver roared into the carpark, beating the back seats to banish the desert dust, and then he checked to make sure we were all secure before we set off on our adventure.

The sound of modern, pulsating traditional Rajasthani music filled the cabin, adding to the excitement. We left our luxury desert camp and headed to the famous Sam Sand Dunes of the great Thar Desert in Jaisalmer.

As we veered off the main road, we came across another desert jeep filled with thrill-seekers, and we followed them into the sands. The two jeeps glided together like we were all in this adventure together.

The view from the top of the sand dunes in the Thar Desert was breathtaking – a wonderment of treeless, undulating golden dunes that cut into the blue, cloudless sky. Our desert jeep worked hard to get us there, and it was worth it. The ride over and down the sam sand dunes was a thrill and a fun adventure, with our experienced driver and sturdy jeep allowing us to be fully immersed in the experience.

As the sun began to set, we stepped out of the desert jeep, kicked off our shoes, and sank our feet into the velvety sand. We ran, leapt, and tumbled down the slopes, just being silly and enjoying the moment.

The sun continued to lower itself in the sky, its golden globe exploding in its glow as the day changed to subtle tones of dusk. We took a break and had a hot cup of spicy tea with a chai wallah before returning to the dunes to watch the sunset on the horizon. The sunset over the sand dunes of the Thar Desert in Jaisalmer was truly spectacular.

As the daylight grew dim, we piled back into the jeep and headed back to our luxury desert camp, making memories that would last a lifetime. Our driver took us back onto and along the road, past well-lit desert camps, their colourful flags on tall poles fluttering in the night breeze, crooked signs perched periodically along the roadside. Soon we pulled up to the Queen of Thar Desert Camp.

As we walked to the camp’s entrance, we were welcomed by the rhythmic beating of the dhol drum by a costumed musician and a beautiful dancer in silver, red, yellow, and black Rajasthani costume, blessing us with welcome tikka on the forehead, a moving completion to an exhilarating sunset experience. And the evening is just beginning. Soon, after a rest and refreshment in our luxury tent, we will settle into a box (booth or cabin) around the camp’s dancefloor to enjoy the evening Rajasthani culture program.
