Traverse
the lonely stretches of the Thar Desert, like the travellers of old ...
on a camel. In fact, the most magical way to explore the sands of
Rajasthan, especially the unending sand dunes of Jaisalmer and Bikaner,
is on camel back.

Camp
under the stars, listen to the haunting strains of folk music echoing
across the sand dunes, stay at any of the many heritage resorts run by
erstwhile royalty, marvel at the remote forts and palaces, or enjoy the
gentle hospitality of villagers at an oasis ... India's camel safaris
take you back in time to a more leisurely age, and make for a memorable
experience.
One of the most popular deserts in India, the Thar
region was once ruled by the Rapjuts. These strong and powerful rulers
built magnificent fortress palaces, of which the ruins are still
visited. The Thar is best experienced by camel safaris. These leave from
Khuri village. There are also, day treks that leave in the morning and
return at night, as well as overnight trips. All travelers and tourists
are required to make this journey along with an experienced guide.
