Camel Safari

Camel Safari

In simple terms, a ride on the back of the Camel. To put it more defiantly and practically, seeing yourself in the midst of sea of sand called the desert. And you move your eyes at a 360 degree angle you find none other than yourself and your companions! Its a different expereince – something like being in a third world.

Typically a Camel Safari can last from an hour to several weeks. The minimum price for a days Safari per person is Rs 400. In this comes a light breakfast of porrige, tea nad toast and lunches and dinner of Indian food.Some Safaris supply Blankets also for the night stay in the desert.

Usually in a Camel Safari, its caming out at night, huddling around a small camp fire, watching the stars, having Indian food dinner listening to the songs of the camel driver. (How melodious do you find his voice, depends entirely upon you).

Typically a Camel Safari takes you through the kingdoms of Jaisalmer, Oasis of Bikaner, sand dunes of Samm, the water of Mool Sagar and the deserts of The Great Indian Thar. Mansions, Citadels, Forts and Palaces are the main interim destinations of Camel Safaris. It gives a peep and throws a light on the ages old Culture of India. It also tells about the India by the way of its Villages which fall in between the routes.

The Camel Safari Pack

Goodies here come bundled in with some aches. If you are in a Camel Safari, then its worth being in a group. The routes are long, often tiring at the end of the day. It s a pretty good idea to have some people around you to have a chat at the day end. The route navigation is done entirely by the Camel Driver, though you are told about the route in advance.
