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.
