Come
and experience the Great Indian Desert of Thar in a truly
unbelievable way, travel by camel safari, cook by the campfire
and sleep under the bare stars. Forget about the 21st century
and come with Destinations India camel safaris on a hands-on
trip through the Great Indian Desert.
There is not a shadow of doubt that a camel safari through the
desert will prove to be an experience of lifetime for the
people with a sense of adventure and a knack of doing
something a little different. You will explore how this
fascinating part of the world survives and why the camel is
called the "ship of the desert" and has a pride of place in
the arid zones of the earth.

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.
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.
You should be well prepared to face the sweltering heat of the
sun with large rimmed sun hats at all times. The temperatures
range with a wide differences in the minimum and maximum from
zero degrees to 30 degrees. You should be well equipped with
an adequate amount of the woolen clothing and comfortable
cotton. Among other things which are needed during the safari
are cotton caps, umbrellas, scarves and balaclava, mineral
water, torch sunscreen creams, moisturizers and lip salve and
knife are some of the things you will be required to carry on
the safari.
