Rajasthan, the majestic and royal state of India, is situated in the northwest region of the country. The state is renowned for its magnificent palaces, forts and golden yellow deserts. Rajasthan is also known all over the world for its vibrant and colorful lifestyle, culture and traditions. Desert is an integral part of the history and culture of this majestic sttae. Rajasthan has been ruled by the royal Rajputana clans who have fought many great wars in the desert of Thar. Rajasthan is also home to many nomadic tribes who live in these deserts. You can easily see the nomadic people travelling on the camels offering a picture perfect view. Once you reach here the first thing that comes to the mind is a Safari Tour in the great Thar Desert. To explore the hidden sights to get better understanding of the life and culture of the true Rajasthani you must go for the desert safari without any second thoughts.

A ride on the back of camel or in a jeep in the golden shimmering Thar Desert gives you a glimpse of the traditions and lifestyles of the colorful culture of Rajasthan. You can enjoy the safari in two ways: Camel Safari ...
... that gives you a chance to travel the kaleidoscopic shimmering landscape on the back of a camel and a Jeep Safari where the journey is short and light. The best time to travel through the desert is either morning or evening as all through the day the heat is scorching with the sun at its peak.

If you want to fully enjoy and experience the essence of a safari tour in Rajasthan, you should have at least 10-11 days because cities Jodhpur-Jaisalmer-Bikaner-Mandawa and Jaipur cannot be explored in less than that. The rough dry experience of the Thar in the day and pleasantly cold nights are the irresistible features of the trip. The transient sand dunes slither with the gushing passionate winds forming new panoramas.

Rajasthan has a very vibrant culture and colorful lifestyle which has a unique and mysterious appeal. A safari tour in the Thar Desert across the small villages of the state is a gateway to indulge and experience this colorful village life, and will provide you an opportunity to explore this mysterious culture. The wildlife of these desert areas is very unique and one gets a chance to explore that as well during the camel safari. The view of the small quiet villages with mud huts, straw roof houses, cattle herds, distinctive wildlife, rural lifestyle, women clad in multicolored mirror work attires and carrying water pitchers on their heads gives you a lifetime experience. You will also come across a great variety of flora and fauna while travelling across the desert. Though most part of the land is barren often you find shepherds with their cattle herds feeding them on the intermittent green patches.

The nights in the deserts are cold and Thar is no exception. This feature exposes you to both the extreme weather conditions in one day at a same place. Camping at night huddled around a tiny bonfire under the sky of stars and listening to the silence of desert or the camel drivers' fairy tales is unimaginably romantic.

Jaisalmer is counted amongst the most ancient cities of India. This small yet extremely beautiful town in Rajasthan experiences the Sand dunes just about 40 Km away from it at a location called Sam. It is said that these sand dunes never stop and they float in direction of wind which never stops. A desert safari tour in Rajasthan is incomplete without a Jaisalmer safari trip. The state is the land of colorful culture and rich heritage and a camel safari is an ideal way of exploring the various shades of this royal and majestic state.
