Khuri
Spend a half‑day in Khuri for a camel safari or desert camp, then return to Jaisalmer; a single night is enough for accommodation.
Khuri is a small desert village 45 km from Jaisalmer. Its main attractions are camel safaris and night‑time desert camping. One night lets you do a safari and stay in a guesthouse; a day‑trip is possible if you return to Jaisalmer the same evening.
