Each winter Recreation sets up a camp at the sam sand dunes on
the edge of Desert National Park. Located in the midst of the Thar Desert
this camp recreates the magical atmosphere of a traditional mediaeval desert
camp on a trade route. Although lying in the midst of the desert, the camp
provides for all the comforts required by a modern day traveler. The
accommodation consists of Swiss Cottage type tents with attached baths
having running hot and cold water.
After spending the day on the camel safari in the Thar Desert, guests can
relax and spend the evening around the campfire, enjoying live music and
dance performance by the "Langha" tribe of professional singers.
Apart from this fixed camp, Rajas than Desert safari also
organizes customized camel or jeep safari itineraries in the Thar Desert on
request. Gala dinners are also organized on request.
