CAMEL SAFARI TOUR IN INDIA
Camel Safaris trace their origin to the age of overland trade between
India and China when caravans would journey along the' established trade
routes laden with the herbs and jewels. The latest activity in the Thar
desert is the camel safari. Route navigation in the desert is an acquired
art and the caravans are required to be trained in riding of camels,
reading of the stars and the shifting of the sands of the terrain.
2-3 days camel ride through sunset shades of heart of Indian desert,
experiencing the bygone era of camel caravans trade route between Persia & Mangolia! We camp near the sandy dunes while enjoying the moods of the
desert.
Our camel trail leads us through the rarely-visited villages & castles
reflecting the colorful rich cultural history of the Great Indian Desert.
We visit the Golden walled City of Jaisalmer with its stone carved
mansions & the Sun City of Jodhpur with its magnificent impregnable
massive Hill Fort & Palaces - an unforgettable highlight to your journey
through North India.
India is a very vast and extraordinarily varied land, offering almost
unlimited opportunities for adventure sports of all sorts - from
mountain-climbing and trekking to scuba diving and whitewater rafting and
much more. However, for many visitors adventure travel in India means
safari travel, and the best-known safari area in the country is the vast
expanse of Thar Desert, with its continuous stretch of golden sand.
Rightly called the ship of the desert, the camel will be your travel
companion in both the blistering heat of the day and the biting cold at
the night. While meandering through the golden landscape of the Thar
Desert, you will come face to face with the rich heritage, culture and the
colorful lifestyles of the royal state of Rajasthan. Camel has been an
integral part of the desert life. It comes to the rescue of the desert
people who have to wander miles in search of water. Added to this the easy
pace of the safari on a camel back will provide you an opportunity to
enjoy and observe the minutes of the land of forts, citadels, colors and
enchanting people. The camel safari adventure in the Indian desert has the
caught the tourist's attention and is on the way of becoming the most
popular adventure holiday in India. It has proved to be one of the most
perfect ways to know and understand India. Traveling through the desert
will be reminiscent of the rapidity and the spirit of the intruding
armies, which led their invasion innumerable times through these deserts.
The best safaris are held in the heart of the Thar, around Jodhpur,
Jaisalmer and Bikaner, Besides desert heartland, other options for the
Camel safari is the Shekawati region visiting towns like Ramgarh,
Nawalgarh, Dundlod, Mandawa and Churu.
Rajasthan has been an important center of trade and commerce throughout
the historical period. The passing of the caravans through the Thar Desert
gave boost to the trade. Prosperity of the trade resulted in the huge
profit, which was used by the nobility to build the impregnable forts,
majestic palaces, grand mansions, and formidable citadels. Sandstone is
the basic material used in the construction of these masterpieces of art
that are today in the ruined state due to ravages of the time.
A typical safari comprises traveling to the architectural ruins of Lodurva
located in the vicinity of Jaisalmer, the sand dunes of the Samm, the
oasis at Anasagar and the water source of Moolsagar. You will travel and
sight seeing during the daytime and can spend your night by cooking by the
campfire and having rest. You will be able to experience the lives of the
villagers on the camels-halts in the en-route villages amidst the desert
scrubs. It is sure to be a once in lifetime experience of the desert rural
Indian life and traditional hospitality.
Safari organizers attempt to recreate the atmosphere of old caravan's
journeys. Musicians accompany the caravan and halts are called outside
some village where local people are invited to enjoy campfire hospitality.
