Osian: The Gateway to the Thar

Nestled just 65 kilometers from the bustling Blue City of Jodhpur lies Osian, an ancient temple town with a rich history dating back to the 8th century. Known as the "Khajuraho of Rajasthan" for its magnificent temples, this oasis in the desert offers a perfect blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty.

As the true gateway to the mighty Thar Desert, Osian presents visitors with pristine sand dunes that rival those of more crowded destinations. Here, the golden sands stretch endlessly under vast blue skies, creating a landscape that transforms magically at sunrise and sunset.

What makes Osian truly special is its unspoiled charm and authentic village life. Unlike more commercialized desert destinations, our corner of the Thar preserves the genuine traditions, warm hospitality, and peaceful rhythm of Rajasthani desert culture. Come experience the real Rajasthan, where time seems to slow down and every dune tells a story.

What Our Guests Say

Don't just take our word for it - hear from our happy adventurers

"Choosing Osian over Jaisalmer was the best decision we made! The same beautiful dunes but so much closer to Jodhpur. The overnight stay in the Swiss tent was luxurious and the cultural show was fantastic. Highly recommend!"

"The jeep safari was mind-blowing! I've done dune bashing in Dubai before, but this was even more fun. And the food - oh my god, the Dal Baati Churma was the best I've had in Rajasthan. Our kids loved every minute of it. Perfect family experience."
