Derawar Fort & the desert.

The landscape that surrounds our club — unchanged for centuries, unforgettable in person.

What We Offer

Eight ways to fall in love
with the night.

At the foot of Derawar Fort, inside TDCP's Cholistan resort, we've created a desert experience unlike anything else in Pakistan — where ancient dunes meet modern comfort.

Desert Camping

Bedouin-style canvas tents with real beds, lanterns, private fire pits, and the dunes as your backyard. Sleep under 5,000 stars.

Stargazing

The darkest skies in Punjab. Professional telescopes, constellation guides, astrophotography sessions — the universe, unfiltered.

🎬

Open-Air Cinema

A giant screen against the dunes, floor cushions, warm blankets, and a film under the stars. The most magical cinema in Pakistan.

🔥

BBQ Nights

Live grills, desert-style sajji, live music, long communal tables — the social heart of every evening at the club.

📸

Content Spots

Designed photo sets: mirror installation, vintage jeep, neon sign, swing on the dunes, golden-hour decks. Every corner is a reel.

🐪

Camel Riding

Sunset caravans across the Cholistan dunes with local handlers, decorated camels, and Derawar Fort right on the horizon.

🚙

Desert Safari

4x4 dune-bashing, guided runs to Derawar Fort, old caravan route exploration — raw Cholistan, unfiltered.

🎉

Weekend Events

Themed nights, live qawwali, food festivals, private birthday camps, mehndi gatherings — the CSC calendar never rests.

Where We Are

At the foot of
Derawar.

The Cholistan Social Club operates inside the TDCP resort at Derawar Fort — Pakistan's most iconic desert landmark, just 30 minutes from Bahawalpur city. The fort's 40 bastions rise from the dunes right beside us.

Built in 858 AD and renovated by Nawab Sadeq Muhammad in 1732, Derawar Fort has stood for over a thousand years. Every night here is a night inside history.
