Desert safaris are not in Jaipur. Jaipur is 240 km away from the Thar Desert. You need to go to Jaisalmer for a desert safari.
If you want a desert safari from Jaipur, you have two options. First, book a 4- to 5- day package that includes travel to Jaisalmer and a desert safari. This costs Rs 20,000-35,000 per person. Second, do Jaipur sightseeing for 2-3 days, then fly to Jaisalmer for 3-4 days of desert safari. The total cost is Rs 25,000-40,000 per person.
The desert safari in Jaisalmer itself costs Rs 8,000-15,000 for 2-3 days. Add Rs 3,000-8,000 for travel from Jaipur to Jaisalmer. So budget around Rs 20,000-35,000 per person for a complete desert safari package starting from Jaipur.
Desert safaris are amongst the top things to do in Rajasthan. Here’s all you need to know before booking. Rajasthan desert safari packages: - Different Parks, Different Times: Desert National Park is good all year, but animals are most active October to March. Tal Chhapar is best from August to March. Sand dunes are okay year-round but very hot from May to September. Pick your dates accordingly.
- Start Early: Most animals move around at sunrise. Park gates open at first light. The first 2-3 hours after sunrise are when you see the most. Plan your hotel schedule to leave early without stress.
- Bring a Good Camera: Desert animals are far away. A phone camera is okay, but a real camera with a good zoom lens (200mm or more) is much better. Binoculars also help with birds.
- Wear the Right Colors: Bright colors scare animals. Wear khaki, brown, olive, or grey to match the desert. Clothes should be light and cool for daytime but warm for early morning.
- Be Ready to Travel in a Jeep: Open jeep safaris are long and can be uncomfortable if you're not ready. Cold at sunrise, hot in the day. Wear layers.
- Drink Lots of Water: The desert dries you out fast. Bring more water than you think you need. Drink it all day. Salt helps your body keep the water.
- Be Kind to Local People: If your package includes village visits, remember locals live there. Ask before taking photos. Buy things from local shops when you can.
