• An activity oriented rural retreat near Jodhpur like Rohetgarh or Chanwa Luni can be opted for an experience oriented (Village Visits, Horse Safari, Jeep Rides), off-beat itinerary

• Instead of Pushkar, Nimaj can be opted for a more rural and relaxing backdrop. Chhatrasagar provides Tented accommodation and is high on experience and charm.

• Additional night at Manvar, a Desert camp mid-way on Jodhpur-Jaisalmer route can be considered. Manvar is more private desert retreat than ones at Sam and provides a more profound Desert experience than a more touristy Sam.
