Dining in India’s Thar Desert offers some of the most memorable meals you’ll ever experience. Two outstanding options stand out in Jaisalmer: The day safari combines camel riding with an authentic Rajasthani sunset dinner right on the sand dunes – perfect for families and first-time visitors. I especially love the “Romantic Night In Desert” option, where you’ll enjoy a private candlelit dinner under an incredible starlit sky while local musicians perform traditional songs. The food is consistently excellent, featuring fresh local ingredients and authentic desert cooking methods. Check out our favorite desert dining tours below.
