Quick guide for a visit to Osian Desert

If you wish to see the sheeny sand sliding from your wrist, explore the silence of the desert and the dunes in a less commercial location, Osian Desert is for you.

Located on the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer Highway, the Osian Desert is at a distance of ~60km from the Jodhpur railway station. The best season to visit is October-February.

The journey begins with the Osiyan Mata Temple, the goddess of beauty.

Be ready with proper clothing as the temperature falls to 8C at night and it feels extremely hot during the day.

Things to be enjoyed - "Authentic food, Camel safari, Jeep Safari, Sand dunes, mud house, bonfire, lying on khatiya and star gazing starting 6:30 PM in the clear sky"

  • Gangaram ki Dhani has the best hospitality when compared with major stays in Osian. They have a real mud house where you will find birds chirping during noon. The walls of the house manage the temperature inside.  
  • The food authentic desert food, with the perfect blend of handmade spices and desert vegetables, is appetizing.  
  • There you will find the most beautiful human-friendly peacocks visiting your stay.
  • People at Rajasthan believe that Rohada and Kejri is the most important tree in the entire desert of Jodhpur and the roots of the Chipku movement lies in this place, initiated by the Bishnoi Samaj. Click here to know more about the tree and chipku moment.

The prices are affordable to experience the extreme of the desert. It is better if you have a big friends group for an adventurous safari or if you can club with others and bargain well. Don't forget to go for a long safari and enjoy the dunes (they are the actual sand dunes). Can get it for as little as 1500/person. They have 2 variations, Dunes Safari, which is a basic trip from the farms to the sunset point, and the long safari, which is the safari to the dune, where they will give you a rollercoaster kind of ride of the naturally formed dunes.

The trip can be completed in 12hrs to 24hrs, but don't forget, if you need the best out of any trip you have to give it some time, let your experience flourish with the atmosphere. Try all 3 meals of the day - Yummy breakfast, Mouthwatering lunch, and Hot dinner in the cold desert under the open sky.

Experiencing the silence of the desert and seeing the sand turning golden in color with sunrise is just a  heavenly experience. If interested in a dance video shoot in the desert, you will have no disturbance :) at all. The people are way too friendly and respecting the guest is in their veins.
