Camel Safari in India

Deserts have since long exerted an irresistible charm on the psyche of humans, the landscape inspiring different emotions in different people. And what better way to explore this magical realm than on a camelback, for a camel safari is one of the most adventurous of experiences, and indeed a novel way to ‘discover’ the desert. Camel safaris trace their origins to the time of trade between India and China when camel caravans would journey along established trade routes laden with spices and herbs and jewels. They provide an opportunity to get a glimpse of traditional Indian life in the desert, with all the hardships, the beauty, and the desolation. The accommodation on the way consists of primitive thatched mud huts, and the way of life through hospitability is entirely ethnic. Camel safaris generally cover the area around Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Mandawa, or Jodhpur, popularly known as the desert circuit. A camel safari is exciting but is not exactly a relaxing vacation. Unless you are accustomed to horse-riding, a day-long camel ride will be tiring. Even if you are accustomed to horse riding, since the gait of the camel is quite different, it may take some time to get used to it. Keeping in your seat as the camel raises or lowers itself to the ground, can appear at first to be a losing battle. However, whether tiring or relaxing, a camel safari is bound to be a unique experience.
