Geography & terrain

Khuri lies in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, 40 km from Jaisalmer and 640 km from Jaipur — the desert village of the region's west, its dunes, the camel rides and the Sam-type sands set near the Thar's edge.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the desert's caravan past — the old Thar settlement of the sand trade, with the village's modern role as the quiet desert-camp alternative of the Jaisalmer circuit and the home of the region's camel culture; the village's history of the folk life and the folk music of the dunes, with the camps of its edge, gives Khuri its desert-village character.
