Rajasthan Desert Safari, Dera Dune Retreat, Jamba

+919571504000

We went on a photographic tour of Rajasthan and spent time in the Jamba area where this unique hotel is built. The hotel itself is built on top of a 130 foot high sand dune. Its mission is to bring the traveler into the heart of the Indian desert to experience the living culture of the desert. The view overlookig the desert is abolutely wonderful, particularly in the early morning and at sunset (with a glass of wine in hand) The accomodations are quite luxurious with one large room per guest house, most of which surround a beautiful swimming pool with Mughal style architectural embellishments. WE arrived by jeeps and then were taken around to visit local villages where one could photograph and buy local crafts. There is a sanctuary for Demoiselle Cranes quite close by and Jodphur and Jaisalmer present good day trip possibilities. Camel rides are also available and a visit to a local salt mines was amazing. The food was excellent and the staff helpful and attentive. Hair dryers were in each room and there was an excellent same day cleaning service We thoroughly enjoyed spending two nights on top of a sand dune.
