About
Camel Safari in India
About the only thing you will have to get used to, when you plan a
camel safari, is the the balancing act and getting use to the
movement of the camel. The camels may look aloof, but they are known
as the lifeline for the desert people, whose major mode of
transportation depends on camels only, also known as the "Ship
of the desert".
The
adventure trip inside the Thar desert is the one that you won't be
able to forget your whole life. Reason being that beside the blurry,
savage and extreme image of this desert lies the adventure of
exploring the sandy landscape and passage through remote villages.
How about camping on small pond sites, experience spending the night
under the stars and jive on the tunes of the musicians.
Camel Safari has been a experience that is happening since the
ancient times, when no other modern means of communications were
developed by man and animals were the sole transport used for
communication. Tourists can still enjoy the same desert experience
in the Sam Sand Dunes in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, where special
cultural performances are also organised by the Rajasthan tourism
department for the entertainment of tourists in the evening. The
camps are specially set of the travellers, serving traditional
Rajasthani meals and in the company of warm hearted Rajasthani
people.
Camel Safari Tips
Beside riding the camel there are certain other facts too that you
should keep in mind while travelling the desert regions of the Thar.
Have you booked a camel safari trip in the Thar with prior
reservations, better check them before leaving for your desert
safari trip. The weather in desert is extreme so do carry a good
backup of plenty of portable water to avoid dehydration, sun screen,
goggles, and a first aid kit.
The clothes that you are going to wear should also provide your
skin breathing space, because of the hot climate you are tend to
sweat. Its better to wear cotton clothes and loose fitted ones and
wear shoes, avoid exposing your skin as much as possible or you'll
get a sun burn. Visitors are requested to dress modestly since the
safari passes in close proximity of villages. A Sola-Topee, the
local Rajasthani turban or some kind of head protection is essential
too.
