A camel safari takes you through the sand dunes of the Great Indian Desert also known as the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. It will unquestioningly provide a golden chance to retreat into an unspoilt wilderness. It will be a journey full of sheer adventures. A majority of the camel safaris in Rajasthan originate at Jaisalmer. Travel to Rajasthan and experience the wonders of desert travel with a camel safari.
Jaisalmer, a desert city par excellence, is the birthplace of the Rajasthani camel safari. The city is home to many places of interest, which attracts visitors in large number from across the world. Among the prime destinations in the city are a stunning 12th century sandstone fort, beautiful palaces and intricately carved havelis. But no visit to Jaisalmer is complete without undertaking a camel safari. You simply cannot resist the temptation of venturing into the golden wilderness beyond the walls of this Golden City. It provides a romantic opportunity to cross the barren sands on a ship of the desert, sleeping under the sky in the starlit night. In short, a travel to Rajasthan is incomplete without undertaking a camel safari in its wilderness.
Travel to Rajasthan and you will see many grades of camel safaris, which cover a variety of routes. One can undertake safaris for up to two weeks on the back of a camel from Jaisalmer to Bikaner. A usual safari is of one to four days' duration. Ensure that you travel with adequate water and supplies and have the services of a good guide and camel-drivers. Camels can be tempermental animals and have to be handled with care. The experience of a camel ride is an unforgettable one. The swinging gait of a camel is similar to the roll and sway of a ship, perhaps appropriate for an animal called the ship of the desert.
Most of the Rajasthani safaris head west of Jaisalmer through places such as Sam sand dunes, Amar Sagar, Lodurva, Bada Bagh and assorted small villages. There is a universal complaint that sightseeing becomes the focal point in these safaris. However it has to be maintained here that you have the discretion of arranging a few days' stroll through the Thar landscape without stopping at any monuments. Hence travel to Rajasthan and relish the spectacular view of sand dunes with a camel safari.
