There is considerable scope for adventure in the magical sands of Rajasthan.The arid land offers ample opportunities for desert safaris,whether bt the fast,dust-raising jeep and horse or slowly,on the swaying back of a camel.
The people of the desert have been using the camel from centuries;sometimes it is their only means of transport and no man can think of surviving in the Thar desert without the hardy camel.A camel safari amidst the golden sand dunes of Jaisalmer gives you a real feel of golden landscape.Denizens of the desert,like the desert fox,chinkara(deer),blackbuck and the great Indian bustard can also be sighted.It will take you to those remote areas where there ample opportunity to gain the first hand experience of the rustic environ.
The halts are arranged just outside a village, and from here one can observe life around the community well,for example,watch the orange sands being kicked up in little puffs as flocks of cattle and sheep come back from grazing,or watch children scramble to a school where a teacher may hold a collective class for children of different ages.In all probably,the meal will be cooked over a wood fire or Kerosene stove.Later as you lay down to sleep you will see the vast canopy of stars in the sky above,lighting up the night like giant fireflies.It was these stars that the caravans of the past used for navigating across long distance through this very desert,and as you fall off to sleep,you can't help wondering that it was in this manner too they must have camped centuries ago.
