Our first time in the Thar Desert was with Khem in his resort. We have been there for 10 days more or less enjoying the desert life. Work is not so hard and the staff will make your staying comfortable and friendly. Kind people always checking if we were ok or in need of something. Definetly recommended you won't regret it

Great experience here. The peace of the desert coupled with the amazing hospitality made this a great experience. The work is flexible with nothing to challenging being asked of you. In quiet times you are free to enjoy this incredible place as you wish. Great food, great local music / entertainment and great people made this a wonderful stay.
