Camel Safaris

   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.
