“The tour is absolutely fantastic! Jeep ride out into the desert (do not pay the 30 rupees the driver will try and ask for at the gate, all fees are included in the tour price and it's clearly optional as we went through after refusing no problems). Then a nice camel ride to a quiet aRead more”
Open 4x4 safari near Jaipur with permits included, a naturalist onboard, and camera fees covered. Choose morning or afternoon departures.
“The safari lasts about 2 hours. The area is fairly small and the trail essentially consists of dirt roads and reaching man-made waterholes, followed by ten other vehicles full of tourists. I didn't see one single animal of interest in that park. It all looks very artificial so it's hard to imagine elusive leopards making an appearance in those circumstances.”
Overnight camel safari and Osian farmstay from Jodhpur, with temple stop, hands-on cooking, sunrise dunes, and stargazing under rural skies.
“We had an amazing experience staying with Sumer and his family. He thaught us a lot about the desert farmer life, camels and his village. It's nice to see that they treat their animals as a part of the family. He and his family are just overal Read more”

Pre-book Ranthambore safari admission with a naturalist guide and open-topped jeep. Pick morning or afternoon, with hotel pickup.
“Hicimos safari en grupo (canter de 18 personas) a parte de que los asientos son exageradamente estrechos, no puedes observar bien el paraje. El guía no iba atento al paisaje para intentar captar a los animales, hablaba mucho con los de la primera fila. La gente tambien charlaba mucho... Y no disfrutas igual, es mucho mejor hacer un safari privado.”
Half-day Bishnoi village safari from Jodhpur with wildlife spotting, weaving and pottery workshops, plus pickup and lunch for $30.
“Good insight to all events mentioned. Good informative guide, who explained the Bishnoi villages to us. There was no pressure to buy anything but the offer was always there. I feel I need to mention there was no bottle of water given so please make sure you bring your own!”
Pick a city, pick a kind of day, and see what it costs.
