Camel Safari
has been a experience that is happening since
the ancient times, when no other modern means
of communications were developed by man and
animals were the sole transport used for communication.
Tourists can still enjoy the same desert experience
in the Sam Sand Dunes in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan,
where special cultural performances are also
organised by the Rajasthan tourism department
for the entertainment of tourists in the evening.
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.
