In
the 16th century camel caravans crossed the mountains to the N along well-trodden
paths, laden with precious jewels and spices. Today's Camel Safaris attempt
to recreate something of that spirit of adventure. The Thar desert in Rajasthan
with its vast stretches of sand, dotted with dunes and its own specially adapted
shrubs and wild life is ideal territory, Our expert navigator and the villagers
on the way add color to an unforgettable experience if you are prepared to sit
out the somewhat uncomfortable but adventurous ride. You would not only have
the thrill but will have opportunity to gain the first hand experience of rustic
environ, to admire the real Rajasthan and an opportunity to mingle with the
local villagers.
