Trip Overview

Sign up for a day tour and gather two diverse experiences at the Osian and Khichan villages in Jodhpur. Start from Jaisalmer to reach Khichan, a natural bird sanctuary for three types of birds.

Highlights:

  • In Khichan Village, there are a large number of demoiselle cranes that visit it every winter.
  • This specialty of Khichan is giving recognition to the world.
  • Osian is a desert town located at around 65 kilometers from Jodhpur.
  • Osian town is also known as the Khajuraho of Rajasthan.

Detailed Overview

  • Khichan Bird Sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. Located in the small village of Khichan, about 150 kilometers from Jodhpur, this sanctuary is renowned for its spectacular congregation of migratory birds, particularly the Demoiselle Cranes.
  • Nestled amidst the Thar Desert, the Osian Temple complex stands as a testament to the rich cultural and architectural heritage of Rajasthan, India. Located about 65 kilometers from Jodhpur. The Osian Temple complex comprises a cluster of Jain and Hindu temples, each with its own unique architectural style and religious significance. Among the most prominent temples are the Surya Temple, Sachiya Mata Temple, and the Jain temples dedicated to Lord Mahavira.

Khichan Town & Osian Village Guided Sightseeing Tour Itinerary:

  • We'll pick you up from your hotel or your desired place in Jaisalmer at the agreed time and drive to Osian first.
  • These ancient Osian temples are sacred. Osian was a great trading center between the 8th and 12th centuries. Today it is a desert oasis with sixteen Brahmanical & Jain temples, beautifully sculpted & designed, most of which have stood the ravages of time. The largest of these are Sachchiya Mata Temple & Mahavir Jain Temple, which are both functional.
  • 2nd: After Oaisan drives through the countryside, 75 km beyond Osian, it brings you to Phalodi, the city of richly carved havelis and temples. Nearby, there is the village of KHICHAN, which is a regular host to the flocks of Demoiselle Crans (locally called Kurja). They come in thousands due to the friendly conditions and protection given by the villagers. Their duration of stay is about 5 to 6 months, after which they go back to their breeding grounds in March or April. Many folk songs are based on these migratory birds.
  • The tour will end by dropping you off at your desired location in Jodhpur
