Camel Safari in Rajasthan - India

When
you are coming to India, then don't forget to experience the Camel Safari, as
this experience will leave some unforgettable moments in your life. Thar - the
Great India Desert, sprawls across the western extreme part of the state of
Rajasthan in India, offering some very daunting sand zones of the world. Camel
- ponderous, surly, smelly and generally unattractive are the main source of
this safari on this sand zone.
The barren desert and drifting sand dunes of Rajasthan India will overwhelm
you by sounds and sights, colours and fragrances. You will come closer to
the real culture and tradition of Rajasthan, as the camel safari will enter
deeper & deeper into the land. The camel safari will acquaint you with
the desert life. Though there are many other means of touring the land of
Rajasthan, camel safari is the best way to explore this desert state of India.
Some Best Location for the Camel Safari
Most camel safaris start from Jaisalmer, which is well connected by air, train
and road to the rest of India. Rajasthans capital, Jaipur, is also a
convenient starting point for exploring the state, whether on camel or otherwise.
Jaipur is a well-connected by air, as well as regular train and bus links
to a number of cities through out India. All camel-safari towns in Rajasthan,
such as Bikaner and Mandawa, are connected by road to Jaipur. Buses run between
all the major towns of the state, and private cars or taxis can be hired to
do the trip.
Things to bring

As
the Camel Safaris are generally arranged in the winters, you will require woolens.
You will also need to carry beds, sleeping bags, blankets. During the daytime,
you may require sun hat, a pair of sun glasses, and suntan lotion as the sun
is blistering at this part of the day. Carry a first aid kit along with you,
as well as any other essentials you might need every day.
Some Basic Facts

safaris. Most of these are in the vicinity of Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Osian and
Khimsar, and stretch from anywhere between 2 to 7 days, with longer ones of

glimpse of the desert are also organised. The majority of camel safaris start
from the desert fort town of Jaisalmer.
