About Dreamtime Bungalows
- Born from the desert, built for those who listen
Discover Kuldhara’s Quiet Luxury at Dreamtime Bungalows
Dreamtime Bungalows was created with one simple idea — to offer travelers a place where they can slow down and feel the desert. Not the commercial version, but the real one: raw, quiet, and infinite.
Sharing walls with the abandoned Kuldhara Heritage Village, just 18 km from Jaisalmer, Dreamtime is an eco-friendly desert resort in Rajasthan built from mud, stone, and soul. It’s not a typical resort — it’s a rustic desert stay where the Thar Desert’s rhythm sets your pace.
Here, mornings arrive softly, evenings linger long, and the stars don’t need an introduction.
Every yellow stone mud cottage and thatched sit-out has been built to remind you that peace still exists in simplicity.
- We didn’t build Dreamtime to impress.
- We built it to belong.
Our Story
Dreamtime began as a traveler’s dream — to create a space that felt authentic, grounded, and connected to Rajasthan’s soul.
Inspired by the quiet beauty of Kuldhara Heritage Village, the founder envisioned an eco resort near Jaisalmer that blended sustainable architecture with the warmth of cultural storytelling.
He started small — a few yellow stone mud cottages, hand-plastered with local clay and lime, surrounded by trees, birds, and the vast desert sky. Along the way, they uncovered ancient fossils — remnants of an ocean that once lived where dunes now rise. These fossils now shape Dreamtime’s walls, pathways, and the boundary of its central oasis — a reminder that the land holds stories older than memory.
What grew from there was more than a stay — it became a community of travelers, locals, and dreamers, each leaving behind a story that adds to the rhythm of this offbeat desert retreat.
Today, Dreamtime Bungalows stands as a sustainable stay in Rajasthan, where nature, comfort, and heritage live side by side — in balance, not excess.
It’s not about escaping life — it’s about returning to it.

If Dreamtime had a heartbeat, it would be Meer Khan.
Meet Meer Khan The Soul of Dreamtime
Known lovingly as “The Son of Kuldhara,” Meer Khan is not just the owner — he’s the local host, storyteller, and guardian of the land. For him, Dreamtime isn’t a business — it’s his home, built with his own hands and his son’s. His vision was simple: to welcome people from across India and the world into the heart of the desert and show them the real Rajasthan — its warmth, humility, and magic.
Every guest who arrives at Dreamtime is personally greeted by Meer Khan. He hosts every traveler himself, sharing stories by the fire, leading heritage tours through Kuldhara Village, and cooking delicious chulha meals that guests remember long after they leave.
Meer Khan’s hospitality in Jaisalmer has become a legend — his laughter, food, and generosity make everyone feel at home. He’s also a master storyteller and local guide, with incredible knowledge of Rajasthani history, desert life, and hidden trails around Jaisalmer.
When you meet Meer Khan, you don’t just learn about Kuldhara — you feel it.
Travelers say that meeting him is what makes Dreamtime unforgettable.
Because here, the host doesn’t just serve you — he shares his life with you.
Our Philosophy
We believe in slow travel, sustainability, and soulful experiences.
Dreamtime Bungalows is built on principles of eco-tourism, community connection, and authentic Rajasthani culture.
What We Stand For:
At its heart, Dreamtime is a space that listens — to people, to wind, to time.
The Setting: Kuldhara Jaisalmer
Our home lies on the edge of Kuldhara Heritage Village, one of Rajasthan’s most mysterious and beautiful sites. Once home to the Paliwal Brahmin community, it was abandoned centuries ago — leaving behind hauntingly poetic ruins.
Staying at Dreamtime means waking up amidst this history — the dunes, the silence, and the stories. Guests often explore Kuldhara with Meer Khan, listening to tales of love, loss, and survival passed down through generations.
It’s more than a location — it’s an experience that humbles you.
