We had a fantastic overnight experience in the Desert. Trotters looked after us well and were very attentive. Our bed was up on a sand dune snd the expanse of stars was incredible, the experience fed our souls. We felt honoured that our guide took us to meet his lovely family in the village and have chai. It really does feel that Trotters value their guests.
Had an amazing experience with Trotters & Travels! 🏜️✨ The desert experience was absolutely wonderful, well-organized, and truly memorable. Great service, friendly people, and an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I never thought I’d get the chance to sleep in the desert under the open sky—it was truly unforgettable. The Trotters staff were wonderful; they shared their stories and experiences, which made the journey even more special. Bhati Sahab was incredibly humble and modest, personally taking us around and explaining every sightseeing spot. An experience I’ll always remember.
We spent a day and a half in the desert with the guides who were wonderful to us: attentive to everyone and very discreet and never intrusive. We had dinner and danced with them and slept under the stars wrapped in warm blankets. An experience to repeat that we highly recommend to everyone.
Trotters tour and travelers from organized camel safari an unforgettable camel safari across the golden desert to enjoying traditional desert cooking, every moment was truly special. We also got to experience the breathtaking desert landscape and views. As the night came, we were given a comfortable bed right in the middle of the desert. Lying down under the open sky, surrounded by silence and watching countless stars above us, was an incredibly beautiful and unforgettable experience. ✨🌌

Our desert safari in Jaisalmer was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible experiences we had in India. It was authentic, unforgettable, and truly felt like we were experiencing something special rather than simply taking a tourist trip. From the moment we were picked up, everything was handled with incredible care. The transportation, the camel rides, the campfire, the sleeping accommodations, the meals—every detail was thoughtfully organized and exceptionally well done. Everything was spotless and incredibly clean, which made the entire experience even more impressive. What was also very unexpected and great was that we made a few stops to some of the more sacred grounds on the way to the desert. So we were able to really get seeped into the culture of the entire area as well. But what made this safari truly extraordinary were the people. Our guides—Goman, Jagan, Piru, Chutra, and Whasu—were absolutely unbelievable. Their warmth, hospitality, humor, and genuine kindness made the experience unforgettable. They took such incredible care of us that it genuinely felt like we had become part of their family. And that feeling extended to everyone else on the safari. There was such a wonderful sense of community and camaraderie that it never felt like we were simply a group of tourists on an excursion. And of course, we have to mention the camels. Connor, Johnny Walker, Chhagen, and Ali Baba became part of the experience too. The camel rides through the desert were incredible, and having names for each of them somehow made the whole adventure even more memorable. The food was absolutely delicious, especially considering that we were out in the middle of the desert. Every meal was prepared with so much care, and both dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Sitting around the campfire, listening to our guides sing traditional songs, surrounded by the desert and the stars, was one of those moments that you know you will remember forever. Fyi Mr. Joe is a renaissance man. The guy cooks, sings, and guided us on the camels!!! The entire experience was also incredibly safe. Not once did my partner or I feel unsafe, and neither did any of the other people traveling with us. Everything was handled professionally and thoughtfully from beginning to end. And then there is the value. For everything that was included and the quality of the experience we received, this was an insanely good value. The amount of care, hospitality, food, transportation, camel rides, accommodations, entertainment, and overall service that went into the experience was remarkable. It honestly felt like we received a five star experience at a fraction of what you would expect to pay for something of this quality. If you’re visiting India, make this a priority. And honestly, even if India isn’t currently on your travel list, I would tell you to go to India and make this trip part of your itinerary. The desert, the people, the hospitality, the food, the music, the camel rides, the campfire, and sleeping under the desert sky all came together to create something truly magical. A huge thank you to Goman, Jagan, Piru, Chutra, and Whasu for making this experience so special—and to Connor, Johnny Walker, Chhagen, and Ali Baba for carrying us through the desert. This wasn’t just a safari. It was an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. Absolutely five stars, an incredible value, and highly, highly recommended.

Hello! It was an incredible experience! We took of from Jaisalmer, and went by Jeep first to visit a natural water source surrounded by stepp-like desert, and later visited an old castle with a nice view over the landscape. The camels were already waiting when we arrived and were very calm, and guided by a nice Indian, who shared with us his experience of living in the desert (English). By the evening, we arrived in the sand dunes and had a walk through the sand while watching the sunset. After a good dinner, we talked a bit with everyone (one other tourist and the Indian guide), and watched the stars for many hours, we could clearly see the Milky Way. Thank you so much for this experience, best greetings, Sonja
