Khuri Homestay-Jaisalmer

Khuri

It is famous for the secluded sand dunes of the Thar that can be reached from the village in 30 min on camels. Yet to make prominent mark on tourist map, Khuri is less crowded and provided more enjoyable experience. This is an ideal desert village untouched by the modernity. It is recommended to split your stay one night in the village and one night in the desert.

The homestay is located in heart of the village and is perfect if you are looking to explore and experience the village life in a desert. 3 beautiful mud huts made in traditional way and a few rooms with attached bathroom provide comfortable stay in the local setting. The family members collectively take care of needs of the guests. Traditional Rajasthani food is served that is all made in clay oven.
