Camping in Jodhpur Brings the Desert Closer

Jodhpur is known for its blue houses, Mehrangarh Fort and rich Marwari culture, but the landscape outside the city offers a very different way to experience Rajasthan.

A camp stay in Jodhpur can take you away from the busy city streets and into open landscapes, village surroundings and desert country. For many travellers, the most distinctive camping experiences are found around Osian, where the Thar landscape meets ancient temples, sand dunes and traditional desert culture.

Osian is roughly 60–65 km from Jodhpur and has become a popular desert camping destination near the city. Overnight stays can combine comfortable tents with camel rides, jeep safaris, folk performances, Rajasthani food and sunset views.
