Travel to India if you are looking for exotic
and adventure filled holidays. And one the best way to make your
holidays in India exciting is to go on a Camel Safari. The royal
state of Rajasthan offers one of the best safari trails in India
and there's no other way to get the real feel of the place then
get on a camel and hit the desert trail. It's a wholly different
experience sailing through the vast expanse of golden sands of
the Thar Desert on a Camel Safari.
Dotted with picturesque hamlets with friendly
folks, the ride through the sand landscape of the vast Thar
Desert, camping on the solitary oasis, experiencing the dark
starry nights and jiving to musicians playing a haunting,
stringed instrument is simply out of the world. It takes one to
an experience of the days gone by when time drifted at a
leisurely pace. The rolling landscape of the unrelieved ocean of
sand and xerophytic shrub covered area is breathtakingly
beautiful and the range of flora and fauna surprisingly large
for a desert area.
The special cultural performances on the
sand dunes, the camps set up for the travelers, the traditional
Rajasthani cuisine, and exploring the offbeat track leading
to villages, cities, temples, palaces, abandoned fortresses
and animals of the sandy wilderness all make Thar
Desert Camel Safari Asia's fastest
selling adventure holidays. The Raikas (camel
breeders) 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 desertscape. The camel carts
are fully equipped and tourists need not bother about comfort
in the desert.
Camel Safaris in Rajasthan
can be tailored to suit every modern traveler. One can choose
a safari that takes only a few hours or one that is perfect
for a weekend or a longer one that takes you through the medieval
cities. Itineraries of 2 to 7 days can be arranged traversing
approx. 40-50 kms a day on camel. These itineraries are planned
in the region of Bikaner, Khimsar, Osian and Jaisalmer. Night
halts are usually given near the village to provide opportunities
to mingle with the local village folks and to provide insight
to the traditional way of their life and culture. |
