Wildlife Jeep Safari: One Day, One Night Towards Phalsund
A remote one-day, one-night Jeep Safari through the Phalsund and Manwar desert region, travelling entirely across sandy tracks and dunes away from tar and gravel roads. The journey passes through traditional dhanis and settlements of Jat, Bishnoi, Rajput, Kumhar and other desert communities, with opportunities to experience remote village life and look for desert wildlife including antelopes, desert foxes, partridges, wild camels and sandgrouse. Our camp is established several kilometres away from the main road with tents, mattresses, bedsheets, pillows, blankets, toilet facilities and meals provided by our safari team.
