Camels have been as much a part of Rajasthan as its
people. Perhaps, no festival in the state could be complete without the
camels taking part in it. And for all this the people are to be thanked the
most that they have kept the traditions alive generation after generation. A
camel safari is one the finest options to acquaint yourself with the
architectural and cultural legacies of the state. From one corner of the
country to the other, the royal land of Rajasthan amazes and exhilarates
tourists and vacationers who arrive here in hordes. The rustic charm that
surrounds the Rajasthani villages is a worthy experience for all. Forts,
palaces, havelis, desert and dunes can all be glanced at by way of a camel
safari that can be as short as one day and as long as a couple of weeks. Of
course, the choice is yours.

Making
a trip to a village means getting to see herds of cattle roaming freely,
folks leading their easy pace of life, women busy with their routined
household activities and partaking in the cultural performances that the
local artists put up. Staying a day or two in one of the villages can get
you closer to the village people and can let you conceive the true essence
of the region and the lifestyle that's followed here. And this is when you
will observe the warm hospitality of the people and their eagerness to serve
the guests in the best possible ways. Besides, the traditional Rajasthani
cuisines will always be there to delight your taste buds. An evening of
fascinating cultural performances around a bonfire would be enough to
capture your imagination.
Drifting sand dunes of Rajasthan command a lot of appreciation for the
images they conjure before one's eyes. Riding a camel and reaching the
rippled sand dunes holds a lot of significance from the tourist's point of
view. At first sight, they may seem monotonous and dull but after spending
some time amid these shifting expanse of sands would turn it all into a
worthwhile experience.
Riding a camel, you can pay a visit to the forts and havelis of the region
too. These efficient guys are the most suitable option to move along the
ocean of sands. At the same time, as you are on your way, the camel
attendant also loads you with interesting legends and stories. A variety of
experience from the most bizarre to the most hilarious await you in the
desert of the Thar.
