Rajasthan Camel Safari
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.
Major Regions Of Camel Safaris In India
Camel Safari In Thar Desert:
Camel safaris are organised with skill and imagination in the vast Thar Desert
of Rajasthan. The duration of safari can be from 4 to 15 days, though the minimum
time duration doesn't exceed the week limit. The Thar is a world of its own,
an unending ocean of sand, dotted with dunes and patchly covered with xerophylic
shrubs, with its own distinctive wildlife. While taking up a camel caravan you'll
encounter the warmth of hospitable villagers and ruins of historic forts and
palaces of Rajasthan. The best camel safaris can be done around Jodhpur, Jaisalmer
and Bikaner, in the very heart of the Thar. The Bikaner-Jaisalmer safari is
about 11 days long, covering 25 to 30-kms a day, along a route known to none
but the camel riders. An option to the desert heartland would be the Shekhawati
region, taking in such towns as Ramgarh, Nawalgarh, Dundlod, Mandawa and Churu.
Short, one or two-day camel safari trips can also be organised and the safari
routes can incorporate interesting variations as Jaisalmer to the Rann of Kutch
in Gujarat. Special camel safaris are also organised round Pushkar and Nagaur
in the winter season of October to March, when these two cities have their popular
cattle fairs.
Chambal Safari:
Chambal safaris are another attraction that are coming up in the safari circuit
and is a fine instance of Eco-friendly tourism in rural India. It provides the
chance to witness the rich heritage and wildlife legacy set against arid backdrop.
The Chambal Safari is a must for visitors to Agra and revolves around two key
activities, a river cruise conducted by the Pathanias, which takes you along
the Chambal river for 30-kms and provides close encounters with Ghariyals and
Crocodiles; and the camel safari, which takes you to the picturesque Atar Fort.
