Best
Time for a Camel Safari : October/November to March
Anyone coming to the Indian subcontinent on an adventure holiday must
make a stoppage at Rajasthan to go on a camel safari. It is one of the
best ways to explore the magnificent desert and can take you on routes
ranging from short, easy ones to long, rigorous ones. Camel safaris in
India mainly revolve around the cities of Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and
Bikaner. The erstwhile kingdoms of Maharajas, these cities boast of the
regal charm even today. The other cities that may be covered on an
Indian camel safari tour include Shekhawati, Pushkar and Nagaur.
Throughout the safari, the camel will be your constant companion,
taking you through the burning sand in the day and the bone-chilling
milieu in the night. Booking a camel safari in India is the perfect way
to explore the rich architectural heritage of the royal state of
Rajasthan. The safari lets you explore the entire Thar Desert and serves
as a window to the rich culture, heritage and life styles of the
Rajasthani people. The day is consumed by visits to the various
monuments, like forts, places, havelis, etc. While, the night is spent
either in camps or in the numerous heritage hotels in which the state
abounds.
Adding to the pleasure are the performances by the local folk artists.
A typical Indian camel safari will bring you across the architectural
ruins of Lodurva and Sam sand dunes, along with the water source of
Moolsagar. Another popular route for camel safari in India is through
the Shekhawati region, passing through towns of Ramgarh, Nawalgarh,
Dundlod, Mandawa and Churu. However, these safaris last for around 11
days. You can also take one-day or two-days camel safari, covering only
the major destinations. The period of October to March is for special
camel safaris to Pushkar and Nagaur.
