About Sand Survivor, Jaisalmer

Take on the dunes of Jaisalmer with Sand Survivor, an immersive off-road training experience designed to sharpen your skills on one of the most demanding terrains.

Across three days, participants learn the essentials of sand driving from throttle control, gear selection and terrain reading to recovery techniques, all under the guidance of professional off-road instructors. With Mahindra Thar training vehicles, night driving on the dunes and hands-on learning built into the experience, Sand Survivor is where confidence meets capability.

Drive Concept:

The Sand Survivor Course will teach participants the art of driving a vehicle in sand effectively. Thars will be the trainer vehicles and participants will be taken on an overnight course to teach them the finer nuances of throttle control, gear selection, steering technique and vehicle recovery techniques. Accommodation, meals and trainer vehicles will be part of the package, all one needs to do is arrive and hit the dunes.
