Adventure India : Camel Safaris - 15

Guys, as a part of Adventurous India, just take a look on some safaris in various areas and region of India. Many visitors and new buddies doesn't know all these things that where they can get a good safari. I am sure that this information definitely help them to find out the real way.

Camp on a solitary oasis, experience the dark starry nights and dance to musicians playing haunting music. Camel safaris are the ideal way to spend time exploring rustic Rajasthan. A camel safari moves through the golden sands of the savage Thar desert passing through remote villages. Pioneered by the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) in Jaisalmer, there are now many companies offering the safaries.

The fortified cities of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner are the best areas for camel safaris. The Bikaner are the best areas for camel safaris. The adventurous can take an entire trail combining Shekhawati, Pushkar and Bikaner.

Riding a camel can take getting used to, similar to the first time trying to sit cross-kneed. Camel rides are not like elephant rides where one sits back comfortably and lets the animal do the rest. Be prepared for ankles and knees. It will be better to try a one-day safari before getting on to anything major. The camel carts are fully equipped and visitors need not bother about comfort in the desert. One can ride or walk along leisurely with the safari and enjoy the desert scape. Camel safaris can be tailored to suit the needs of every traveler from a few hours to a week. The safaris are also available in Gujarat.

Best Time : Mid-September to Mid-March
