About
Khuri |

Jaisalmer – an hour and a world away from the fort’s swarming
trade. Khuri has its own desert sand dunes, and it remains a
peaceful place apart from during holiday periods, as it’s
popular with Indian holidaymakers, with houses of mud and
straw which are decorated like the patterns on Persian
carpets. There are abundance of camps of mud huts, and camel
drivers who are eager to take you on the dunes, but no
shop-lined streets or pancake restaurants. Once the excitement
of sunset is over, there is desert solitude and the brilliant
star-studded sky at night to look forward to.
