Yes

You will be hard pressed to find a driver at the railway station to simply drive you to Sam and back. Firstly only auto rickshaws can be found at the station and very few would want to undertake such a long journey (inc luggage). Secondly, car drivers make their profit from hotel bookings,arranging camel rides, dune bashing in jeeps, cultural shows etc. If you are spending 2 or 3 days in Jaisalmer it would be much easier to arrange travel to Sam through your hotel if you REALLY want to see Sam (please double check my recent post).

[Any suggestion to book Sunset safari with camel ride dinner folk dance and also covering Kuldhara tour] Dear friend . . . Personally, I would avoid Sam at any cost. Apart from the hassle, crowds and rubbish, the dunes are simply not the 'Sahara' experience many visitors expect. If I may, I would like to suggest an alternative experience that includes the mysterious and enigmatic Kuldhara village. A reputable tour operator would have a contact in Kuldhara who could organize a camel ride around the abandoned city and nearby desert, culminating in a sunset dinner/picnic at the Kuldhara Fort. This would tick several boxes for you apart from the 'cultural dance' which I found to be totally overrated at the camps and overly commercial anyway. The bonus in my mind for organizing a camel 'safari' at Kuldhara is you will be totally alone, with not another tourist in sight. You will OWN the sunset. Happy travels. Brian

Check out with tent people for running hot water It was freezing cold 2 days ago, since there are no walls, and just tents it will be cold and in our we had no a/c or heater in room. Safety wise we felt safe.. Our hosts, staff very very good.

Since its tent, no walls it will be very cold. Checkout temperature during ur visit we visited during Dec 23 and it was free3cold, had packed Thermals, gloves socks sweaters jackets monkey cap.. Also check for running water, tap water will be freezing in bathroom, after 5 pm difficult to use, but we did not have 24 hrs hot water. No A/C, no room heater, no water kettle... U better check these things if u need in advance, we are a couple and had challenges to survive being from Karnataka

They said its also difficult to drive bcos though it a national Highway, people, goat sheep's keep entering the road and only 2 lanes

I have seen some local bus running there from Jaisalmer. But in morning time back to city is doubt.
