Vast open spaces, absolutely quiet and peaceful, free of man-made disturbances and clean atmosphere and tranquility at its best, a catalyst for true rejuvenation! The sky gazing at this place is an overwhelming experience, whether its moonlit-night or dark sky filled with billions of stars. Enjoying a healthy homemade meal at such locations is beyond words and any price-tag.

Visit Khaba and Khuri

A steaming cup of tea while you watch the captivating crimson sunrise over vast open undulating landscape, is an experience that you can’t get from any hotel room.

Our Overland Truck at Khaba Fort, near Jaisalmer. Its the best way to enjoy rural Rajasthan.

While you are relishing your breakfast in the open, the rumbling sounds of the camels nearby entices you for an enthralling cross-country camel safari to Khaba. Taurus will meet you at Khaba Fort to host you for a ‘field lunch’ offering a commanding view over the village which is part in ruins. From here, we drive through a strikingly unique landscape to Khuri, a typical Rajasthani village. We reach Khuri to see the quiet sunset over much less crowded sand dunes than Sam Sand Dunes. We then proceed to one of the resorts/camp to enjoy a cultural folk music evening, hot tea and hot snacks are  served.

We come back onboard Taurus for the night at Khuri.

We offer you the best outdoor experience of Sand Dunes in rural Rajasthan

Desert National Park
The morning tea becomes a priceless experience at such locations! After breakfast, Taurus will drive you to Nature’s Paradise into the heart of Desert National Park where we can see blackbuck, chinkara, the Great Indian Bustard and other wildlife endemic to this Desert National Park. This place is like a holy temple for nature lovers and photographers. The whole time spent here, would replenish your soul with a new energy and aura. Spending time here in the folds of nature, is something which will leave you wonderstruck and in deeper connection with the elements. Night onboard Taurus, may be inside or outside the DNP.

OPTIONAL: If the whole group agrees we could extend our stay by one more day here.

Best photo tours of rural rajasthan, a treat for travel photographer and we take you on our campervan in rural areas where others can’t offer such experience. Spend time with shepherds in Jaisalmer

After early breakfast, Taurus revs up and sets its bearings to offer you peep into hidden world on the way to Munabao. It’s an exhilarating drive 130 kms on the BORDER ROAD (hugging the Indo-Pak border). Not everyone gets a chance to tread this border road. The eerie drive will surprise you as there is hardly any traffic or habitation on this road. The road from Khuri to Barmer of 252 kms has no infrastructure for tourists. On this stretch, we will come across the simplest true Indians who are full of care and warmth. It’s a road which you wouldn’t have imagined! We will also come across sand-dunes which rarely touched by tourists other than explorers. Only a few get to tread this border road hugging the Indo-Pak border, as its devoid of infrastructure to support touristy activities. Munabao is right on the Indo-Pak border so close one could blow ‘water bubbles’ into Pakistan!

Spend time at the War Memorial of The India Railways, it’s one of a kind war memorial

Munabao Railway Station – last Frontier of the Indian Railways!

On arrival at Munabao, we will visit the border post to ‘meet and greet’ the soldiers and to express our gratitude. Visiting any ‘border post’ is a unique encounter and you experience adrenaline surge and our respect increases manyfolds for the soldiers who guard our border 24×7 under harsh conditions while we sleep in peace. You will be in awe to see even basics  of life are abysmally scanty at such locations. Our brave soldiers give their sleep for our sleep, it’s here you experience patriotism first-hand.

We let you explore Untouched Sand Dunes.

We bet no one can offer this experience, especially in homely comfort, other than Taurus. Night stay onboard Taurus somewhere in the middle of nowhere, next to railway War Memorial!

Kiradu Temple

Reach Barmer
After a leisurely breakfast, Taurus roars to signal you for a wonderful drive to offer glimpses into the life of rural Rajasthan at its best, on the way to Kiradu Temple Complex. We make a ‘pit-stop’ at Gadra Road to buy the world famous ‘Laddoos of Gadra’. Once we reach Kiradu, we roam around and explore the place for photography.  Night onboard Taurus near Kiradu Temple complex.

After morning tea, visit the temples once again, if you wish to photograph the intricate stone art. Enjoy leisurely breakfast, drive to Barmer and you have the following options to suit you:
