Barmer

At FWD, we go beyond the typical tourist trail. We can curate a Barmer itinerary that includes:

• Thrilling Camel Safaris: Experience the vastness of the Thar Desert on a traditional camel safari, with overnight stays in desert camps under a canopy of stars.
• Offbeat Temple Explorations: Explore lesser-known temples beyond the magnificent Shri Nakoda Jain Temple, like the ancient Devka Sun Temple, offering a deeper dive into Barmer's rich religious heritage.
• Village Homestay Experiences: Immerse yourself in the local culture by staying in a traditional village homestay. Interact with families, learn about their way of life, and enjoy authentic home-cooked meals.
• Culinary Delights: We can arrange visits to local farms to understand the origins of Barmer's unique cuisine or cooking classes to learn how to prepare delectable dishes like ker sangri or laal maas.

Barmer offers a range of accommodation options to suit your budget and preferences:

• Heritage Hotels: Experience the charm of Rajasthani hospitality in a restored haveli (mansion) converted into a hotel, offering a unique blend of history and comfort.
• Budget Guesthouses: Find comfortable and affordable guesthouses in the main town, ideal for budget-conscious travelers.
• Desert Camps: Immerse yourself in the desert experience with a stay in a comfortable and well-equipped desert camp during your camel safari adventure.

FWD can recommend the perfect accommodation based on your needs and desires

Barmer is generally safe for solo travelers. However, FWD prioritizes your safety. We can arrange reliable car transfers with experienced drivers and recommend well-located guesthouses in safe areas. If you prefer, we can connect you with small group tours for specific activities, allowing you to socialize with other travelers while exploring.

FWD incorporates various experiences to bring Barmer's culture to life:

• Witness Rajasthani folk dance performances: Immerse yourself in the vibrant music and colorful costumes.
• Learn a few basic Hindi phrases: This small gesture goes a long way in connecting with locals and enhancing your experience.
• Explore local markets: Browse through textiles, handicrafts, and spices, bargaining for unique souvenirs.
• Attend a local festival: If your travel dates coincide with a festival like the Barmer Thar Festival, you'll witness vibrant cultural displays, music, and dance.

FWD encourages responsible tourism:

• Respect the local dress code: Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites.
• Minimize plastic waste: Carry a reusable water bottle and avoid littering.
• Support the local economy: Shop at local markets, stay at locally-owned guesthouses and bargain fairly with vendors.
• Be mindful of the environment: Avoid disturbing wildlife and be cautious while exploring sand dunes.

By following these tips, you can ensure a positive impact on your Barmer adventure.

Let FWD curate your unforgettable Barmer experience, filled with unique adventures, cultural immersion, and responsible travel practices.
