Beyond expectation - My oh my. After such a long hiatus from penning down my nary worth of thoughts on TripAdvisor, back to this site I am. This time, it is for the sole purpose of vouching the awesomeness of my 2d1n desert tour with Wanderlust Camel Safari. The owner was super responsive when contacted, offered pickups/dropoffs when needed, and even provided useful information about the town (traffic, bus terminals, etc). Anyway, it is worth repeating that the trip was awesome and had a lasting impact to my travel experience. I feel like I don’t need to repeat what others had already written here but all I can say is that the tour is legit and professionally run by the owner and his staff. A special mention to Nabbu the driver, whom I’ve become a good friend with. In short, do not hesitate to go with Wanderlust C. S. and save yourselves from the proverbial tourist trap of Sam Sand Dunes. Trust me.

Magical peaceful desert evening 🌟 - Nothing was too much trouble for Padam and we had a wonderful afternoon and evening in the desert. We saw a beautiful sunset, and were lucky enough to have a moonless sky for stargazing. It was so peaceful, just the three of us, Padam and the camel guide turned chef! We had a delicious Thali prepared from scratch on an open fire. A magical and very special trip, a highlight in India.

Memorable Camel Safari with Cultural Program - Thanks Padam Singh Ji for arranging a nice half day safari tour. Enjoyed site seeing (Kuldhara and Khaba fort) enroute to the safari point. Mr. Nabu, the driver was soft spoken and helpful. He drove the jeep on rough road with ease. Had an amazing adventurous 4 km camel ride from Barna village (Khuri) to desert area. It was great watching the sun set over the dunes and walk on the Thar desert.
Got refreshed by receiving a traditional Rajasthani welcome with hot tea and snacks at the camp site (Pal Rajah Resort). Enjoyed the local folk dance and music performance with delicious local cuisine.
Overall a great experience in Thar desert.

Super experience - Super nice people. It has been a great experience. We were looking forward to staying but since we had little time to be in Jaisalmer, it was a good option. The conversation, watching them cook, the camels, the stars... all great. 100% recommended

The best Safari in Jaisalmer - Wonderful! Despite there was no sunset and it rained at times, it was a beautiful experience in the thar desert.
The guides are very kind, nice and helpful.
Delicious food and quiet camels.
I'm sorry I didn't sleep under the stars and if I go back I'll do it again with them...
Recommended!

Perfect offbeat desert tour..... the real desert experience! - I found Wanderlust Camel Safari on tripadvisor. It hit all the right notes. I didnt want to stay in a fancy resort, meet loads of other tourists and listen to loud party music till late in the night. I wanted the real desert experience.
Padam Singh ji picked us up from our hotel at 2.30pm. After roughly an hour long drive, during which we stopped at the beautiful Khaba fort for a view of the old ruins and at an oasis with a lake, we reached a spot where we met our camels. Its an hour long camel ride, which is quite an experience and shouldnt be missed, but not necessarily the most comfortable one. The highlight for me was getting a front row view of many herds of deer prancing gracefully across the sands.
The main camp site is in the middle of nowhere, sand dunes all around, away from the city, from the roads, from other tourists. Hot tea and pakodas later, we watched the sunset which is quite a sight in an open desert.
Once it was pitch dark, they set up a bonfire next to our charpai and we lounged around, watching the sky light up with stars, having interesting conversations with Padam ji and the camel people while they cooked our dinner. Dinner was simple but hot and sumptuous.
One reason to do this safari is to watch the sky filled with billions of stars, it's a magical sight and something we never get to see otherwise.
When we were finally ready to leave, Padam ji drove us back to our hotel.
There is an option to stay overnight in the desert as well.
The safari is value for money compared to some resorts that charge exorbitant prices, Padam ji is a man of the earth, humble and happy to show you his desert world, the camels seems well treated and healthy, the experience is definitely a memorable one. Would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Jaisalmer.
