Camel Safari
The most popular and obvious safari to explore the bewitching beauty of Rajasthan is the Camel Safari. Known as the 'ship of the desert', the camels will take you to the remotest parts of the Thar desert, where you will find yourself at the threshold of a never explored wonder land. Get down from your camel for once, stand apart and see the serpentine caravan you are in; you will definitely be searching for your camera to catch the moment to stay forever. Sleeping under the twinkling stars with gold like sand all around you gives you the most cherished experience of your life.
Camel, the much-famed ship of the desert has a rolling gait that may be a little uncomfortable in the beginning but you soon get adapted to it, as you understand its rhythm. You may chose from the option of camelback or camel-carts and it can be customized according to your choice. You may choose the number of days of the safari and also the routes on which you want to travel. You have to sit astride on a saddle mounted across the camel's hump, which makes a comfortable seat for you and the professional Raikas (the camel keepers) are there for your help. It is fun to travel through the vast arid desert land with these camel keepers dressed in as colorful and traditional costumes as the women whom you pass by on your way. It is amazing how these people know their way well instinctively where almost everything just seem to merge into one and can travel for days with the help of the position of the stars in the sky, which is like a compass for them.
Generally, 30 to 40 km is covered in a day in a camel safari and it is advisable to travel in the mornings and evenings and during the winter season and the scorching sun and hot desert winds can give you sunburns and heat strokes. It is advisable to wear clothes covering your body fully and wear a headgear, preferably, a local turban or sola-topee and drink lots of water to save from the ill-effects of the heat and dehydration and attract more smiles from the warm rural people that may wave at you as you pass by them. Camel Safari is most popular in the Sam sand sunes near Jaisalmer while the Shekhawati belt, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Pushkar and Nagaur are not far behind.
