Our Story

Keeping old Rajasthan alive

Heartland Dunes is a desert camp on the Sam Dunes near Jaisalmer. We mix old Rajasthani traditions with modern comfort, so every guest feels like family.

Who we are

New camp, big heart

We are a new name in hospitality. But our passion and care are as strong as the oldest hotels. At Heartland Dunes, every guest is family.

We have 12 Swiss tents. Each tent is 16 ft × 32 ft, with a private bathroom and a beautiful view of the golden dunes.

There is lots to enjoy: camel safaris, folk music evenings, and fresh Sattvik (pure vegetarian) food made with local ingredients.
