About Us | Samtara Desert Camps Jaisalmer

OUR STORY

Built on the dunes, run like a family

Samtara Desert Camps was founded by Mahendra Singh Bhati with a clear purpose: to offer travelers an authentic, serene desert experience without sacrificing modern comforts.

Nestled beside the tranquil second dunes of Lakhmana, Sam, our camp offers the perfect balance—far enough from the crowded tourist strips to enjoy pristine desert silence, yet close enough for easy access to sunset viewings and thrilling safaris.

From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed not as a room reservation, but as a personal guest of our family. We take pride in delivering genuine Marwari hospitality, home-cooked local meals, and unforgettable nights under the starry desert sky.
