4 Nights / 5 DaysJaisalmer · Kuldhara · Sam Dunes · Tanot · Longewala · Ramdevra
A compact desert trip built for groups from Patan. You travel overnight in an AC Force Urbania, so two of the four nights are on the road and every daylight hour is spent in the desert. Day 2 is the Golden City - the living fort, the carved havelis and Gadisar Lake. Day 3 takes you past the ghost village of Kuldhara to a desert camp on the Sam dunes for a jeep safari, a camel ride, sunset and a Rajasthani folk evening. On Day 4 you drive to the border country for Tanot Mata and the Longewala war memorial, stop for darshan of Baba Ramdevji at Ramdevra, and ride home through the night.
