About
the only thing you will have to get
used to, when you plan a camel safari,
is the the balancing act and getting
use to the movement of the camel. The
camels may look aloof, but they are
known as the lifeline for the desert
people, whose major mode of transportation
depends on camels only, also known as
the "Ship of the desert".
The adventure trip inside the Thar desert
is the one that you won't be able to
forget your whole life. Reason being
that beside the blurry, savage and extreme
image of this desert lies the adventure
of exploring the sandy landscape and
passage through remote villages. How
about camping on small pond sites, experience
spending the night under the stars and
jive on the tunes of the musicians. |
| Cautions
and Essentials for - Camel Safari |
Beside riding
the camel there are certain other facts
too that you should keep in mind while
travelling the desert regions of the
Thar. Have you booked a camel safari
trip in the Thar with prior reservations,
better check them before leaving for
your desert safari trip. The weather
in desert is extreme so do carry a good
backup of plenty of portable water to
avoid dehydration, sun screen, goggles,
and a first aid kit.
The clothes that you are going to wear
should also provide your skin breathing
space, because of the hot climate you
are tend to sweat. Its better to wear
cotton clothes and loose fitted ones
and wear shoes, avoid exposing your
skin as much as possible or you'll get
a sun burn. Visitors are requested to
dress modestly since the safari passes
in close proximity of villages. A Sola-Topee,
the local Rajasthani turban or some
kind of head protection is essential
too. |

Regions Of Camel Safaris In India |
| Thar Desert is
so much favorable destination in India,
where you can enjoy camel ride. |
Thar Desert - Camel
safaris are organised with skill and
imagination in the vast Thar Desert
of Rajasthan. The duration of safari
can be from 4 to 15 days, though the
minimum time duration doesn't exceed
the week limit. The Thar is a world
of its own, an unending ocean of sand,
dotted with dunes and patchly covered
with xerophylic shrubs, with its own
distinctive wildlife. While taking up
a camel caravan you'll encounter the
warmth of hospitable villagers and ruins
of historic forts and palaces of Rajasthan.
The best camel safaris can be done around
Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner, in the
very heart of the Thar. The Bikaner-Jaisalmer
safari is about 11 days long, covering
25 to 30-kms a day, along a route known
to none but the camel riders. An option
to the desert heartland would be the
Shekhawati region, taking in such towns
as Ramgarh, Nawalgarh, Dundlod, Mandawa
and Churu. Short, one or two-day camel
safari trips can also be organised and
the safari routes can incorporate interesting
variations as Jaisalmer to the Rann
of Kutch in Gujarat. Special camel safaris
are also organised round Pushkar and
Nagaur in the winter season of October
to March, when these two cities have
their popular cattle fairs. |
