From August till April we organise camel Safaris in the Thar desert of Rajasthan. During the camel safaris all your needs will be taken care of. You will be escorted by local people who speak the local language as well as are able to communicate with you in English. If the Safaris are planned for the longer duration we will get the tents erected in the desert and our Master cook and his team will take care that fresh food is cooked and served. You will be served fresh cooked meals (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner as well as coffee and Tea breaks with the snacks will be there). You will ride in a day for around 15 to 30 Kilometres. The distance will be covered in two spells before and after lunch. The covered distance can be regulated as per your wish to have a long ride or a short one. You can have the small breaks in between and get down to have photographs or visit the villages you ride through. In the evening near a village on a sand dune, tents will be erected to spend the overnight. Please be informed that during these two days it would not be possible to erect luxury tents as this needs a lot of time to erect and establish them and it is not worth of one or two nights So there will be simple tents without toilets and one has to use the option of using vast free land for toilet as this is usual in desert.
At our base desert camp there will be luxury tents with all the modern facilities including modern toilets and there would be cultural programmes in the evening with campfire etc. As far as a travel route for the camel safari is concerned it would start from your base camp which is around 40 Kilometres. from Jaisalmer. Rest of the route would be through the villages according to the distance to be covered. At the base camp as well as during the Camel Safaris you have the choice of sleeping in the tents or outside on the provided beds etc. under the stars. We recommend to carry the sleeping bags as in the desert the temperature at night may fall considerably.
We also arrange conferences and different kind of events at our Base desert camp. Please feel free to contact us for more details. The Team of Indo Vacations look forward to welcome you in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan !

More About Camel Safaris in Rajasthan

There can be no better way of experiencing life in the thar desert than through a journey into its main vast land on camel's back. Special tours for small and large groups can be arranged so that you can camp near to a village, participating and observing different aspects of village life without disturbing the local people. 

We at Indo Vacations make it for sure that halts are arranged just outside the village, and from here you can observe life around the village community. It is particularly interesting to watch the life of villagers as early morning the day starts and people start their activities on the field. Children to go to school and group of cattle arrival at perhaps the only water well of the village. Your meals will be cooked over a wood fire or kerosene stove. And after a fulfilled day when you lie down to sleep you will see the vast numbers of starts in the clear sky up above. Having camped this way you would get the feeling of the people who had camped this way  while travelling with their camel caravans through the desert until recent past. This kind of camping has been a real practice  until the caravan route to middle east was alive and ships and harbours were not introduced to the country known as Hindustan. Business people would travel via Rajasthani through Pakistan and Afghanistan till Iran and other Arabian countries and the local people of Rajasthan befitted through them by landing them animals and collecting taxes and this used to be the main source of the income for a vast community of Rajasthan which brought enormous wealth reflecting in the richness of the Havellis and Palaces of Rajasthan.

We at Indo Vacations advice you to make the Safari in small groups. We advice to  plan on traveling for up to 4 to 6 hours a day, covering maximum a distance of 30-40 km. You should carry carry dinking  water. Take a good sun cream to protect the skin. A large hat is ideal and better then a cap or go for the option of wearing turban as local Rajasthani people do. One should wear loose fitting cotton clothes. Be smiling and do not talk to the village women unless you are addressed as this could bring some misunderstandings. One should not forget to take comfortable shoes. They should not be heavy so they are easy to walk in the sand.

Indo Vacations Camel safari itineraries are quite flexible, and can be taken from most points in Rajasthan, and can vary  from a few hours on just an afternoon of your otherwise planed  tour or over many days just concentrating on the focal points "camels and desert" These safaris can also include visits to larger cities to see the attractions of the former princely kingdoms or can be limited to the villages of Rajasthan. For those looking for luxury accommodation we can also include visits to smaller towns with heritage hotels so that sleeping in the tents or under the open sky can be avoided if wished so.

Rajasthan is offering so many possible areas of Camel Safari so we do not call any area as the best areas for camel safaris. However  Shekhawati region, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, and Pushkar are the most frequently chosen area when it comes to camel Safari in the Thar desert of Rajasthan.

A camel is not the easiest animal on which to ride, You may get the feeling of uncomfortableness as the camel starts walking, sinks into the sand. The rocking motion of the camel takes getting used to, and at first the time seems to pass very slowly. After a while, the body adjusts to the motion of the camel and starts to move along with the camel and you experience the silence of the desert, waves of the sand at its best while being for a few hours on the camel's back Most of the so called modern world people start respecting the animals and the local people who live with them the day to to day life happily in the difficult desert.
