India is blessed with innumerable exotic holiday destinations and travel options. One of the most unforgettable and enchanting experiences you can have in India is to ride through the rippling, windswept desert on camel back and camp out under the stars. Taking a camel safari will also give you the opportunity to witness the rustic, rural desert life of India. While the desert can be barren, it’s also surprisingly well populated.

The wonderful golden Thar Desert might not have expanses of sand dunes and extraordinary spaces of wilderness as big as those with the Sahara and Namibia, but more than tends to make up for it with some wonderful citadels and really colourful and unspoilt villages.

If you are coming to Rajasthan then it is the best activity for you to explore the destinations of Rajasthan. Camel Safari tour is one of the adventure tours in Rajasthan where you ride on the back of the camel and explore the famous destinations of the Rajasthan state. You can have the fun in the regions of Bikaner, Pushkar, Jaisalmer and Shekhawati. So Camel Safari India has designed various tours for you where you can have full adventure and can explore the famous destinations on the back of a camel.

A camel riding is a superbway to see the desert – visiting the villages, viewing wildlife, and riding throughout the open desert sands. Common camel Ridings arrangedaround Jaisalmer takeinside the architectural ruins of Lodurva which was the previousfundsfrom the Bhatti Rajput desert kingdom just before the founding of Jaisalmer, the Anasagar oasis, the sand dunes of Samm and also thewatersource of Moolsagar where village womencollect with pitchers at dusk. Night halts on fundamental Ridings are at villages around the way or temporary bivouac camps in the desert scrub exactly where camels are hobbled and permit out to browse.

The best time is during the cooler dry months, from September to March. After March, the desert becomes unbearably hot, and then the monsoon season starts. Camel safaris usually depart early in the morning to allow some distance to be covered, and a suitable camping spot to be found and set up, before dusk.

A large number of travel agents and tour operators in Rajasthan organise camel safaris. Most of these are in the vicinity of Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Osian and Khimsar, and stretch from anywhere between 2 to 7 days, with longer ones of up to a month. Shorter, day-long camel safaris which just about give you a glimpse of the desert are also organised. The majority of camel safaris start from the desert fort town of Jaisalmer.

Whereas Lompoul desert is a piece of dust compared to its big brother Sahara, it still shows great desert feelings and fantastic views, like this one. A place to go especially when you don’t have time to experience Sahara: everything in Lompoul desert, even the nights under bedooin tents make you feel and understand what these deserts are.
———-
Même si le désert de Lompoul est minuscule comparé à son grand voisin Sahara, les sensations qu’on éprouve sont fantastiques quant aux paysages admirés, la photo est parlante. C’est donc un endroit à voir absolument, surtout pour ceux qui n’ont pas le temps de goûter à l’expérience du Sahara. Tout, jusqu’au bivouac sous tente maure, concourt à faire ressentir et comprendre la magie du désert.

The camel trek video was filmed in the Sahara Desert, Tunisia, North Africa. An unusual experience, the video was quite wobbly due to the way the camel walked.
