This grand full day Exploration Trail experience is made of 3 different segments and ending with the ultimate Thar Dinner at our Celebration Gardens at Suryagarh. You start off after a late breakfast with the Thar Trail, described above. After your break and perhaps a bit of rest at Suryagarh, late afternoon we start again into the second leg of this Trail and show you places where once the Merchants took their short refreshment breaks. We drive you to the natural springs of Moondri where we find the sweetest drinkable water in this region and the wells never dry up. Before we take you back to Suryagarh, you experience some remarkable Sunset moments on the banks of Joshida Talab, once meant for the Royalty of the region only. The day ends with the memorable Thar Dinner, just the way the rich travelling Merchants did in the past.‍

This is a perfect 3-hour mini exploration of the Thar in the comfort of our SUV that showcases the landscape and stories of the region, and its importance in the history of the Silk -Route. Let us drive you past the Dedha Village which is famous for its Craftsmen, visit the Khadeen land known for the ancient irrigation system which was set up centuries ago by the Paliwals and still in use. You discover the Khaba Fort that once offered rest, shelter and protection to the Merchants on their long journeys and we shall take you off-road during this trail and show you the abandoned Kuldhara Village and ancient cemeteries before we move on to Nabdungar which is highest point of the region offering a perfect 360-degree view of the Thar.‍

Thorny scrub and forgotten sites in the desert are still said to be inhabited by spirits called chudails. The chudial trail, ingeniously designed by Suryagarh, takes you on a midnight drive to all the spots, nooks and crannies in the surrounding area where they say the persecuted spirit of the chudail circulates. Your journey begins close to midnight as you drive up to the Paliwal cemeteries near the Khaba ruins through off-road trails past the Shamshaan Ghat where cremated ashes of local chieftains and women who died in sati are buried. The trail takes you to the burial ground near Jaziya talao and into the abandoned ghost town of Kuldhara and the dark lake where discontented spirits are said to swirl in the dead of night.‍
