Located around 70km north of Jodhpur, Osian is another ancient settlement and former trading post, once a prominent stop on the Silk Route between the 8th and 12th centuries. Religion flourished during this time, as evidenced in a complex of beautiful, intricately carved Jain and Brahman temples, leading some to dub Osian as the ‘Khajuraho of Rajasthan’. Most visitors use Osian as the gateway to the Thar Desert – a jumping off point for magical overnight camel safaris – a unique and truly unforgettable experience.
