Experiences

Every day in the Thar Desert is an opportunity to be moved by nature, the elements, expansive space and silence as well as to jump headfirst into vibrant desert cultures and rich experiences. It’s a place where you can feel alive, feel connected as well as disconnected. It’s a place to grow and see life through a different lense – to leave inspired, rejuvinated and better for your experiences.

Village immersion

Live a day in the life of a rural Rajasthani villager. Immerse yourself in local lifestyles and village living. Taste local foods, learn traditional cooking techniques, connect with the culture and local families.

Camel Safaris

Traverse the landscape in the traditional way – on camelback! We can organise unforgettable and affordable camel safaris around Mala Ki Dhani or in the western deserts.

Walking safaris

There are many places of interest within 10KM of Mala Ki Dhani and walking through the desert brings a whole new sense of freedom to the adventurer. Visit local sand dunes, an abandoned Maharaja picnic palace, seasonal lakes & nearby villages.

Sleep under the stars

Pick up your bed and move it outside or take a sleeping mat into the desert with some firewood and fall asleep gazing into the unbelieveably star-filled night sky.

Malan Bai temple

Immerse in the local customs by taking a 1km walk up the rocky mountain to reach Malan Bai temple. Malan Bai is a local deity and this temple offers 360 panoramic views of the desert.

The famous Sam Sand Dunes, Desert National Park as well as many historic forts, temples and palaces are all within reach on day excursions from Mala Ki Dhani.

Explore on wheels

Wildlife watching

If you’re a bird lover, the Thar Desert is a magical place to be. If you’re simply a nature lover, you will find a new appreciation for the harshness and beauty of the desert landscape.

Local sports
