Crazy Camel Hotel & Safari

This was my favorite experience in India on a 3 week trip across North and South India. And, the camel safari with Hussein was the best part! Jaimin, the owner of the hotel, arranged for a driver to meet me at the airport. When I arrived, I had chai and sat at their cafe and ate delicious paneer paratha while they prepared the safari. We visited the abandoned village of Kuldhara which was very mysterious and quiet (a rare experience in India!), a cactus garden, and an oasis before making our way to where the camel driver, Hussein would pick us up. Thereafter, with one other guest, I went on a camel safari out to a campsite with our host and guide Hussein. We rode the camels for a couple of hours into the desert, stopping at a local village absent of other tourists where Hussein had some friends and we could explore. He cooked us a delicious dinner over the campfire before we slept overnight under the stars. You could see the Milky Way and hundreds of stars. It was beautiful. Hussein was an excellent guide. He was kind and friendly, good with the animals, spoke English well, despite little formal education, was always happy to take pictures for us, and let us go at our own pace. He and his family are indigenous to this area so he knew his way around and about the land and its people very well. He was eager to answer questions and to chat with and learn from guests. The air was unpolluted out in the desert, the skies clear, the stars beautiful the food delicious, the water plentiful, the bedding cozy and warm, and the service from Hussein fantastic!

The rooms are some of the cleanest Ive stayed in my whole trip in India! The staff is so polite, and genuinely trying to help in any way and arrange anything you need, from Safari to bus or train tickets! Their food is delicious, always freshly cooked and good ingredients and clean and just so tasty!! The Safari they took us on was brilliant, stayed under the stars, enjoyed the sand dunes and the desert. Really an experience to remember! Would definitely visit again, and recommended without question!

Thank you for your help! Very kind and friendly place! :) They gave us the possibility to leave our lagguages for going around to visit fort and all the places! We hope to come back in Jaisalmer! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
