About Jaisalmer

Over The dream that keeps us going 20 years we have in-depth knowledge of travel destinations around Rajasthan, India’s desert state and have worked with our partners in rural Rajasthan for years. Our advisors are well travelled and hence can provide better insight in to desert safari tours and places to stay in Jaisalmer.

We educate, inform and encourage all our travellers and local hosts towards travel in responsible manner for sustainable world to develop understanding of the changes (positive and negative) that the modern world can bring. Promote and to preserve local culture, environments our wildlife habitats & delicate eco-systems.

We understand that travel is no longer just about spending money on luxury holidays and 5-star hotels, it is more about the experience than just monument sightseeing and shopping. So we design our experiences that focus on activity-based responsible travel experience, exploring local cultures, traditions and food too. By the end of the tour our guests should not only have a pleasurable experience but also an enriching experience.

Rural communities in fairly remote places often struggle to survive – and as they lose economic viability and their young people head for the cities, so too they lose traditional knowledge and skills. It is important that the income created through these tourism enterprises is real but supplementary to traditional livelihoods. With more than 20 years experience we are confident that we have had real effect on out-migration and have brought a solid, secondary income stream to the villages.

We strongly believe that by working with local communities, small players of the tourism industry and making them more sustainable, we will deeply change the existing tourism development paradigm. HACRA is facilitating rural home stays and other services in villages mainly with those who are otherwise not part of tourism and its benefits. The travel experiences we offer aren’t just limited to taking travellers off the beaten track or creating opportunities for communities to thrive, but is about creating a social setting that entails following components;

• Protect the environment, its flora, fauna and landscapes
• Respect local cultures, traditions, religions and built heritage
• Conserve natural resources, from desert to other destination
• Minimise pollution – noise, waste and congestion.
• A protective space that not only strengthens the means of livelihood of the locals but also prevents degeneration of the natural resource that sustains the former.
