Rajasthan invites
you to feel the adventure of a Camel Safari, which
takes you through the golden sands of the vast Thar
Desert. Like horse safaris, camel safaris are also
popular in Rajasthan. The camel, popularly known as
the ship of the desert, is not only common in the
Thar Desert, but also the only means of transportation
in remote areas.Ride through sandy tracks, passing
through remote villages.
Pitch your tent at a new place each night. Spend the evenings
next to the campfire and dance to the folk music. The safari
is organised to take one through the golden sands of the vast
Thar Desert and untamed countryside, enabling one to experience
the days gone by when time drifted at a leisurely pace. The
rolling landscape of the sand and shrub covered area is breathtakingly
beautiful and the range of flora and fauna surprisingly large
for desert area.
The best
camel breeders are of Raika and they are also the best guides. They
know every pasture, waterhole and village of the region. One can
ride or walk along leisurely with the safari and can enjoy the desert
scape. The camel-carts are fully equipped and tourists need not
bother about comfort in the desert.
