Camel
Safari - An Adventurous Journey
Camel Safari is one of the unique ways to explore small villages in
Rajasthan. Camel Safaris is most exciting and soft adventure. It is a great
experience to explore the Thar - a vibrantly, living, desert, very colourful
and hospitable on the back of the swaying Camel.
Camel, the ship of the desert was domesticated thousands of years ago
primarily for the purpose of making tedious journeys through the unforgiving
and harsh Thar Desert. Whatever is the choice of safari, a short trip to
typical Rajasthani village or a long-distance expedition, camel is the most
native guide, to explore the eccentricities of Rajasthan. As the deserts are
to hot and harsh it is better to travel in the cooler parts of the day, the
mornings and evenings.
The sights en route the safari will captivate you and become a part of your
most treasured memories. There may be barren land for as far as the eyes can
see and extraordinary view of sea of yellow shimmering sand. The safari
often passes through millet fields, small hamlets and interesting deserted
ruins, most of these safaris last for three to four days. The caravan of
camels stops at night and all camp out in tents as star in the open sky
being the watchman all night.
This usual safari includes many of the following places: Sam Sand Dunes :
This is 42 km from Jaisalmer, almost the closest point to witness the total
sandy and extensive desert. One can see the wavelets carved out by winds on
the sand. Camel rides on the sand dunes are an unforgettable experience as
is the radiant sunset in Sam, Jaisalmer.
Some other places of interest covered by the camel safari are - Bada Bagh &
Chatris, Amar Sagar, Mool Sagar, Barmer, Lodurva, Kuldhera, Khuri, Akal Wood
Fossil Park, Desert National Park and lots more.
The Thar Desert in Rajasthan with its vast stretches of sand, dotted with
dunes and its own specially adapted shrubs and wild life is ideal territory
for Camel Safari. Camel Safari is an unique experience to admire the magic
of the rustic village environs and culture. One can experience this
adventurous tour mostly in the region of Bikaner, Khimsar, Osian &
Jaisalmer
