Camel
Safari
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 camp tire 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 & shrub covered area
is breathtakingly beautiful and the range of flora and fauna surprisingly large
for a desert area.
The camel breeders or Raika are the best guides. They
know every pasture, waterhole and village of the region. One can ride or walk
along leisurely with the safari and enjoy the deserts-cape. The camel-carts are
fully equipped and tourists need not bother about comfort in the desert.
Rajasthan
Tourism Development Corporation arranges the camel safari on request from Delhi
and Jaipur during Nagaur Fair and desert festival.
