Absolutely! Whether you’re accompanying a photography enthusiast or simply drawn to the charm and mystique of the desert, you’re more than welcome to be part of this journey.

This tour is designed to be immersive and inclusive, offering much more than just photography. Over the years, many non-photographers have joined us — spouses, partners, travel lovers, and cultural explorers — and each of them has found the experience deeply fulfilling.

Even without a camera, there’s so much to experience: walking barefoot on golden dunes, watching the sun dip below the desert horizon, listening to the silence of the night under a sky full of stars, and connecting with the timeless spirit of Rajasthan.

You won’t feel left out at any moment — this journey is about feeling the soul of the desert, whether you’re framing it through a lens or simply soaking it in.

Please note that although you may join as a non-photographer, the tour cost remains the same for all participants, as every logistical arrangement — including transport, accommodation, permits, meals, and on-ground support — is provided equally to everyone.
