Wonbin Safari Hostel

Volunteers can help in simple jobs like Check ins and Check outs, Guest Interaction, Paintings, Animal Care (We have a lot of camels). We are also opening a new Artistic Cafe on the rooftop you can help to build that place if you have some artistic vision. You can also help us in managing our website and social media. If you're a photography lover, you can do some photography for us. You can also teach some language basics to our staff. There are so many ways to contribute - we just want you to be happy. You can play music, learn cooking, enjoy desert life here with us.

Jaisalmer is a nice place where you can have a great time as an open-minded volunteer. You can experience the Indian culture, see all the beautiful places of this city, cities and villages around. Enjoy the long distance desert views, the beautiful city, great food, the markets, Rickshaw and Indian Railway rides and much much more.
I can also provide some free camel safari if you would like to get that great experience.

My name is Talab Khan and I am from a small desert village in Jaisalmer and running a hostel (Safari Jaisalmer) and an artistic cafe right next to the Jaisalmer Fort. We have our own Camel Safari and Desert Safari Camping Tours so we need help for our hostel and tours. With 10 minutes walking you can reach the market and with 15 minutes you can reach the Gadisar Lake, which is an amazing place with such a great view to enjoy the sunset. We also organize desert-safari and if you volunteer and would like to join it's possible as well. We provide you food and accommodation in return for your help with computers, internet and speaking with guests and making sure they are happy. Nothing difficult. We speak Hindi, English and Korean languages. We are looking for volunteers to help us with simple stuff. We would like you to help us answering the emails of any kind, tourist emails asking about bookings, about pick up service and things like that. We would like you to check on the computer any upcoming new booking, so that we know who and when people are arriving, which country they are from etc. When people arrive in the hostel it would be nice if you help us with the check in stuff like passport and visa photocopies, writing the check-in information book and showing the guests their rooms. We would also really like if you keep socializing with guests and make them feel comfortable. We also want some volunteers to help us with making our place look more beautiful through Wall Painting/graffiti and Crafts. We will love to have anyone who can draw some cartoons and write beautiful quotes around here. You should help us for 4/5 hours each day but we are flexible. You are happy, we are happy! Don't be shy, we are a big family and I'm sure we will spend a great time together. Happy To Meet, Life Is Mama Mia ------------ We have an Artistic Cafe at our Rooftop, you can help us out there. Or you can help us in our Hostel. Thank You for giving time to read this. Message us to know more. Enjoy Life. Happy Life.

I had a great experience volunteering at Wonbin Safari! Taleb was a good host who always looked out for me, and all of the staff at Wonbin were good people and nice friends. The hotel has an amazing big rooftop with the best view of the fort and is in a great location for exploring the city. I was given a good private room for my stay and provided with meals. Taleb also drove me around the city, and to cool places like the lake and the haunted village. and at the end of my stay they kindly dropped me to the bus stand and made sure i was safely on my way!

The place is beautiful, but the host gave me non-AC room, and it was very hot temperature due to off season. But he gave me the opportunity to do the Safari twice, and there was no restriction in respective working time. The host didn’t interact much, but his brother was managing the place, and I have spent a lot of time with Aladdin and Mehaboob. Highly recommended because of amazing Safari experience.

The experience is truly what you make of it. I came during the off season, so there wasn’t much to do except help with online tasks, such as writing emails, optimizing websites, and replying to reviews or comments. The communication started off good but after the first few days, it was really lacking and I felt totally out of loop. I got to experience the safari which was amazing, but didn’t get to work with the camels at all since it was off season. Not many people speak English. I had a lot of free time around Jaisalmer which was nice, and the local people really made the experience for me.

I came during the off-season so there wasn’t a lot of things to help with (only replying to reviews and adjusting information about the safari tours at various websites) and therefore I had a lot of free time in Jaisalmer. We also attended the safari tour for free which was very nice of them. The hostel staff are male only and due to their level of English we couldn’t engage in a more meaningful conversation which is something I was really looking forward to. As for cleanliness, it could be improved, but it wasn’t a big issue for me. In general, I enjoyed my stay in the hostel.

Thank you for coming Veroika, and for all your helpful feedback. As you have experienced, during the off-season, life here is a lot slower and there is less to do work-wise. We thank you for being a proactive and engaged member of the team, and we hope you can come back to get to know the different side of Jaisalmer during the season as well. Most of our staff is still learning English, but we are all happy to learn and connect regardless. We wish you all the best!

Passei uma semana no Hostel Wonbin Safari e foi uma experiência bastante desafiadora. O hostel fica na cidade de Jaisalmer, fronteira entre Índia e Paquistão e é uma região islâmica já de costumes bem conservadores. Para andar na rua eu precisava me cobrir por inteiro e também usar um véu para me esconder. Andando pelas ruas da cidade e dentro do forte há mto assédio sobre as mulheres estrangeiras. Os homens da cidade abordam demais e fazem todo tipo de pergunta íntima e constrangedora. Me senti muito vulnerável. Sobre o voluntariado a experiência foi positiva, porém desafiadora.
