Camel Safari in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

avatar
Jaisalmer Dekho Desert Camp

Jaisalmer is a small town, with population just over 18 000 it’s easy to explore on foot. A day will be enough to see all of its tourist attractions like the magnificent Jaisalmer fort and the lovely Haveli’s. Yet the reason why to stay in this town longer is camel safaris. There are many tour operators who will gladly arrange a tour in the Thar Desert.



Many tour operators will show you pictures from the safari with huge Sam sand dunes desert camp, don’t be fooled though. The Thar Desert around Jaisalmer is anything, but big sand dunes. Mostly you will see very rocky surface with some vegetation in form of shrubs, cactuses and camel trees. There are sand dunes but they are nowhere as magnificent as the dunes shown in pictures. On the safari most likely you will meet some locals, but they are quite used to western tourists, as the routes are very touristy and most likely you will meet other groups from different tour operators. There are some locals who go around the desert selling Coke and Pepsi at the popular safari rest places.

The longer safaris are most likely to go off the beaten track. The sleeping and eating on the safari is very well organized. When I was on the Camel Safari Jaisalmer there I really enjoyed the food that was cooked on open fire and Camping in Jaisalmer on the sand dune under the sky. The guides or camel men as they are sometimes called all speak English and most definitely will take good care of you.



The Camel Safari Jaisalmer is well kept. Though it gets kind of annoying at the end of the second day to sit and dangle on the camel’s back and people with sea sickness probably will have problems adjusting. In case you can’t take the ride of camels back any more, you are free to walk.

The two day camel safari might not be the adventure of your life; still it is a well spent time. You will get to know a little piece of rural India. The nature of the desert is amazingly beautiful and the camel safari itself is a very enjoyable and relaxing activity. It is particularly good when tired of all the monuments, forts and museums the only thing you want is to get away from it all, the camel safari is a good chance to relax and to get an insight on another side of Indian culture and lifestyle.
