Osian is a historic desert town about 65 km from Jodhpur, known as the "Khajuraho of Rajasthan" for its intricately carved ancient Hindu and Jain temples.

The town is surrounded by golden sand dunes of the Thar Desert, making it an ideal spot for desert safaris and camping.

Visitors can enjoy camel and jeep safaris across the dunes, with the option for sunrise or sunset rides offering stunning desert vistas.

Overnight desert camping in traditional tents features cultural performances including Rajasthani folk music and dance around bonfires.

Osian’s temples, such as Sachiya Mata and Mahavira Jain Temple, are important pilgrimage and architectural sites dating back to the 8th to 11th centuries.

The desert area around Osian is peaceful and less crowded, providing an authentic rural desert experience.

The best time to visit is from October to March when weather is cool and favorable for outdoor activities.
