Hi, my name is Jalam!
We run a family-owned camel safari tour company in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan (recommended by Lonely Planet), and a small hotel. There's a variety of tasks you can help us with: primarily we need assistance with answering emails from potential safari and hotel customers and assisting in the office, but there are also opportunities to help out in the guesthouse, in the villages for those with special skills, and on the camel safari.
Most of the time we provide you with your own room at our hotel, a comfortable double bed to sleep in and your own bathroom (hot shower and western style toilet). During periods of high demand you may be required to stay in a tent on the roof (bedding provided) and to share a common bathroom (pictures of tents provided). Three meals per day are provided. We will also endeavour to give each volunteer one free overnight safari, though this is dependent on jeep availability.
We ask our volunteers to stay for a minimum of two weeks, though we are prepared to be flexible in individual cases. We are especially interested in volunteers who can stay with us for extended periods (from one month to six months) to help out in a customer service capacity in the office and hotel.
Fluency in written and spoken English is a must.
Feel free to contact us with any further questions.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

We are happy to help you learn Hindi and Marwari
You can learn how to make Indian, Rajasthani food.
You will have plenty of time to explore the Golden City and its surroundings.
You will have a chance to learn about camels & how to care for them...Ayuda
We do a lot of business with English-speaking tourists. Though we can communicate with them in person, it can be difficult to communicate via e-mail. We need people to help us with this task - it's essential for our business to function. We also require support in the office.
We also run a small hotel that we use for departing and returning safari customers. We would appreciate help in cleaning the rooms: this is a daily task in the high season.
We endeavour to enable all our volunteers to go out on at least one camel safari, where, as well as being able to experience camel riding and sleeping at our beautiful dunes, you'll be able to help out with all aspects of the tour from food preparation to cleaning up the campsite to chatting with the tourists. Working in nearby villages is also a potential option. Let us know if you have any specialist skills (eg. healthcare, teaching, web design) that you think might benefit our company and community - we're always open to innovative suggestions.
Food, water and accommodation are provided for free. Duties are varied and your work schedule is usually pretty flexible. Email if you are interested or have any further questions!Idiomas

You will be staying in a simple, homestay-style accommodation. It is usually a room in the guesthouse but during exceptionally busy periods you might be asked to sleep on the covered roofspace with the staff, and to use a shared bathroom. Plenty of bedding will be provided.

The work is really chill and laid back, sometimes you will be at the office with nothing to be done, so you can just sit outside and watch the jaisalmer life, if not, bring a book or computer to spend the free time… read more

Jaisalmer is an amazing place and we would have never thought to come here if it wasn't for your invite through WorkAway. We are so happy that we responded and traveled the great journey to this place of history, magic, culture, architecture, and desert lifestyle!

Staff here are very friendly and fun.
They arranged me a free pickup and drop from railway station.Gave me a individual bedroom and a free overnight desert safari and camping package.Now I owe them a lot. I am planning to come here again with all my friends as a customer, not as a volunteer.
A lot of free time to explore the town and the work in the office is really nice! Jalam is super friendly and makes you feel like home with his generosity.
For only few hours of help, they took good care of me at the guesthouse with a nice private room, free delicious meals, chai and so much… read more

They made me feel like part of their family right from the start and it was just awesome! Will come back anytime, if I can find the needed time for that! Thank you Delboy and Crew, you are simply great!
My girlfriend and I got a nice experience with them ! We did not stay long because of our travel plan yet, it was really good to have the opportunity to meet the real guy from the desert. We stayed with them for a bit less than a week. We got free accommodation, lunch and dinner with the team.… read more
They picked us up from the train station and immediately made us feel welcome, and let us recover from our travels.
The work you need to do is very easy, just answering emails and handling reviews etc.
