Ikke-turistisk overnatning kamel safari

We are an older American couple on a trip to experience Rajasthan state in India. Jaisalmer is our last stop on this trip and as we planned, we looked for a way to get out into the Thar desert. There are many tour operators who offer a variety of activities. We settled on SIMON THE CAMEL MAN for our camel safari experience and had an experience that far exceeded our expectations and hopes. Simon and his driver took us to see three villages and a historic fort before setting out on the camels with Simon and his camel wrangler. They brought along plenty of bottled water and food to prepare a delicious lunch and evening meal. All the food was made fresh over an open fire and was delicious and plentiful. It was extraordinary how quickly they prepared fresh chai tea, chapati, pakora, kaddu, and a fresh vegetable fry up beautifully spiced served with rice or noodles over an open fire with desert foraged dry wood and a few rocks to make a stove. We were well fed and the preparation was entertainment. Simon told us stories and sang and played the big cooking water jug as a drum in the firelight as the stars came out and the moon rose. We rode in the dunes and saw no one during the morning camel ride to our lunch spot or the afternoon ride to our dinner site. As dusk descended a few large groups on camels passed in the distance as overnight safaris arrived to while away the evening. We spotted many birds, antelope and two desert fox. The camels did their job beautifully and were well trained. Simon and his driver returned us safely to our hotel in Jaisalmer after an extremely memorable and enjoyable 13 hour day in the desert. Book Simon, you will be well tended and have an experience of a lifetime.

Raj and his team was very nice and friendly They took care of very much We went non touristic area They have guided jaisalmer city tour also and provided good food during stay in Jaisalmer

It was a great experience exploring the thar dessert with this wonderful and experienced guide Raj and his beautifull camels! We had so much fun! Thanks a lot, we will never forget that

Beautiful experience with raj in the desert. It is the perfect balance between visits to monuments in 4x4 and a camel ride not too long. The meal is excellent. The sunset and the night in the leash of magnificent memory.

It has been fantastic, an ideal experience!!! The food was exquisite, made by themselves with desert branches. Nothing spicy. We have had dancing, songs etc and we have ended up counting the stars. The personal equipment is excellent and Raj, the head of the camp is a cracker, always watching what everyone needs.

It’s was very amazing experience to go in this adventure with Raj and his team, they organised it very professionally and made sure the experience was comforting. It was also very fun to hear the stories from Raj he is very experienced and humble person I’d go with him again and I highly recommend to go with this group

Highly recommend this safari trip, we saw many animals and a ghost villages. We were only two so this was nice to enjoy the call and chill place. The night was really awesome with a sky full of stars and sunset and sunset

Good experience at the desert with Raj and his team. I didnt plan to go when I arrived in Jaisalmer, but Im glad I did. Beautiful memories.

Raj and Dina were very kind and helpful. Adu and his sidekick dog made sure everything was good and I was well looked after. I saw a different way of life and It was a great experience.

Adu and his cousin were great camel drivers : simplicity and kindness, all the ingredients to have a good time. The desert was pure beauty. Sleeping under the stars was magical. We met others camel drivers and we can feel the solidarity and the family spirit. It’s beautiful to see.
