Joshi Desert Camp

Out here in Jaisalmer, things move a bit slower, which is how we like it at Joshi Desert Camp. We are located over in Ward No 32, specifically in the Gafur Bhata area near Malka Proll. Living and working in a place like this means you get used to the sand and the wind. We spend a lot of our time making sure the camp is ready for whoever shows up. It’s not like a big city hotel where everything is automated. Here, we do things by hand. We fix the tents, check the supplies, and make sure there is enough water. Jaisalmer is a beautiful place, but it can be tough to maintain things when the dust starts blowing through Malka Proll. We have been here for a bit, and we know the local area well. Most days start with checking the perimeter and making sure the staff knows what to do for the guests. It’s a simple life, mostly. We aren't trying to be the flashiest place in Rajasthan, just a place where people can stay and see the desert. Sometimes the electricity acts up or the logistics of getting supplies to Ward No 32 get complicated, but we manage. It’s just how it goes when you run a camp in the desert. We just keep things running day by day, making sure the camels are fed and the tea is hot for the guests arriving in the evening. There is always something that needs fixing after a sandstorm.
