Jaisalmer Winds Desert Camp

Wonderful stay and hospitality. The manager dipendra was very helpful. They provide complimentary camel ride in the desert and the cultural activities were great. The food was tasty and good.

Review of Winds Desert Camp Overall a good stay in the camp run by hard working folks. Location - About 32km from Jaisalmer (JSM) without any camps nearby. Quiet and relaxing. The google maps location is accurate. Taxis will charge around 1500kms for a one way drop or offer to do a round trip for 2500, which will include a side trip to a deserted town of Kuldhara (skippable). The camp itself is not close by to the dunes but on a sandy patch. The dunes are some distance away. Plan your arrival to between 3-4pm. Before that - nothing much to do; and probably too hot as well (depending on the time of the year). Spend your time in JSM instead. Food - it was quite tasty. They accommodated our vegan food request with a smile. They also have many vegetarian choices as well. Range was quite fine - as you would expect in a desert camp. They might whip you up some custom food if you have specific food requirements. The entertainment (Rajasthani music and dance) and in the evening was also quite good and relaxing under open skies. They also serve alcohol (basic choices), and finger foods during the show. The one wrinkle was the tent itself - the one initially assigned to us - 101 was very smelly. They managed to find an alternate - 122, which a bit older, worked out ok. The sheets in the first tent were also stained. So pls inspect and ask for any changes - which they will accommodate with a smile. The AC cooled down the tent within 10mins on an October evening. They also take you out on a desert safari - a car ride for about 6kms and then go not the camels for a 10min walk onto the dunes where you will spend about about 30mins watching the sunset. This was an amazing experience and the highlight of the trip. Service - Mr Bana and his staff do a good job on this front. Good team! All in all a good experience.

A bit of a tourist trap. Not much of a desert just a few dunes, 10 minutes camel ride, open jeep ride was just to the dunes and back on terrible roads, beds like rock, takes 20 minutes for the water to heat up for a shower that lasts about 2 minutes. Limited but tasty food Surrounding area littered with rubbish. If in doubt, skip.

The property is located close to seam dunes. Going by the name 'winds, it is closely located to many wind mills, one is standing adjacent to the property on west side. Tents and nice and spacious with clean bed linen and towels. They arranged us a jeep safari in the seam desert for 2500rs and a free camel ride, experience was amazing. We left around 4. 30pm for the desert and came back to property around 7pm. We were welcomed with fresh towels and tea/coffee. Cultural programme organised by the camps was the best part as it was nothing fancy and all organically executed. Dinner was good, we had chicken gravy with rice and soozi halwa. There were multiple veg options too. Had a amazing stay at the property. Will definitely visit again next year!

The camp is located at a distance of 40 kms from Jaisalmer and is easy to drive to and locate. Our tent was sturdy and spacious and the bathroom was well maintained and extremely clean, as was the linen and the bed sheets. This came as a pleasant surprise to us because we didn't expect a camp to have such high levels of hygiene and cleanliness. Food was extremely appetising. The Chef prepared a delicious Rajasthani style dry chicken dish using minimal masalas and oil. The camp organised a desert jeep safari (paid for separately) and a camel safari (built into the package), both of which were fun. Evening was spent around the bonfire watching a Rajasthani song and dance performance. Right from the time of check in to check out, Mr. Rahul, Mr.Kuldeep and their team were attentive to our needs ensuring great service. All in all, a highly enjoyable and relaxing stay

Stayed for 2 nights. Very good hospitality, service. Tents were clean, bathroom was flawless. Food spread was limited but good. They took good care of us.
