Desert camping in Rajasthan
The tents, the camels, the music and the stars — in Pushkar, in the heart of Rajasthan, instead of at the far edge of the Thar.
The desert, closer than you think
Jaisalmer and the deep Thar are a long way from most Rajasthan itineraries. Pushkar sits where the Aravalli hills meet the desert, about three hours from Jaipur and on the way to Jodhpur and Udaipur, so a night of desert camping fits into almost any trip.
You also get one of India’s oldest holy towns on your doorstep: the Brahma Temple, the ghats of Pushkar Lake and the world-famous Pushkar Camel Fair.

Glamping, Rajasthani style
Our Swiss tents are lined in hand-block-printed fabric, with a proper double bed, an attached bathroom with shower, an air cooler and a private sit-out. Larger family tents and cottage rooms are available too.
Evenings follow the Rajasthani rhythm: a camel ride at sunset, Kalbelia dancers and folk musicians around the bonfire, and dal baati churma for dinner.
One booking. The whole evening.
A typical overnight stay at Pushkar Royal Desert Camps. Exact inclusions are confirmed with your booking.
