Jeep Safari in Jaisalmer

About Jeep Safari in Jaisalmer:

If you think you are more on adventure side then try the Jeep safari to explore the Desert in Jaisalmer. These are done on 4X4 Jeeps that are really powerful machines customized in to 4-wheel drive. These Jeeps are open and are strict no-no in summers. The direct sunray in desert in the summers is very harmful to skin. There are chances that you will get heat stroke. But in winters, jeep safari in Jaisalmer is a thing worth trying. You can opt for short trips such as Fossil park or Desert National park that are situated in the radius of 50 odd Km. You can also opt for Sam Sand Dunes that is about 40 Km away. We suggest you to spend at least a night in the Desert Camp. Night stay charges for Jeep safari are negotiable, so settle for the best bet. If you want to go for a really long drive then opt for Padholi. This bird sanctuary is nearly 150 Km from Jaisalmer and thus Jeep will be the best possible mode of transport. Spend a night in any of the villages inside the Padholi sanctuary that are still untouched by the outside influence and feel the difference yourself!
