Practical info
Booking & Duration – It's generally advisable to book your stay and activities in advance, especially during peak tourist season. A typical stay might range from an overnight experience to a couple of days, depending on how many activities you wish to undertake. Camps usually provide basic amenities and often include meals as part of the package.
Good to know
Desert Essentials – I recommend carrying warm clothing for chilly desert nights, even if days are warm, particularly during winter. Don't forget essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for daytime excursions. The camp is located a bit away from the main town of Pushkar , so arranging transport to and from the camp beforehand can be helpful.
