Camel Safari Tour Overview

A journey amidst the sand dunes with camels

A trip to the desert would be incomplete without a camel safari across the seemingly endless expanse of the sandy terrain. With Rajasthan being the ultimate desert state of India, a trip to this cultural oasis will only feel complete by availing a camel safari.

Camel Safari Tour Package of Rajasthan is crafted exclusively for those who want to explore Rajasthan traditionally and indulge in adventures. It’s not only about the camel ride but the tour also includes an exotic platter of Rajasthani cuisine, traditional entertainment and of course the royal stay experience.

Camel Safari in the desert is an ultimate experience. Any trip to Rajasthan can never get over without treating yourself with a camel ride across the glistering golden sands of the Thar Desert. Exploring the endless expanse of the sandy terrain as you ride at the back of the ship of the desert is an experience for a lifetime.

As Rajasthan is the desert state of India, a trip to this cultural oasis will let you travel across several destinations along with a camel ride. The city of Jodhpur offers multiple packages of varying durations for its visitors. The shortest of these safaris allow one to travel 70 km across the glistening sheets of golden sand of the Thar Desert to the ancient town of Osian, steeped in cultural history significant to both Hindus and Jains.

The best part of this tour is that you can get it customized as per your interests. So you can decide if you want to take the road less traveled or the track with more adrenaline rush. The most popular tourist spot is Sam or Khuri in Jaisalmer. Though this is the most famous camel safari in India, there are numerous offbeat destinations where you can have this exciting experience.

The dunes near Khuri village in Desert National Park are more peaceful and attract a fair share of tourists. If you book a camel safari package from Jaisalmer, it will most likely include a stop at abandoned Kuldhara village on the way to Khuri.

Bikaner is also a popular hotspot for camel safari, though it is nowhere in comparison to Jaisalmer in terms of natural beauty. You’ll be disappointed if you go there expecting undulating dunes because they no longer exist. Instead, the safaris generally focus on visiting isolated desert villages.

Despite the name ‘Camel Safari’, tour operators go the extra mile to ensure that their guests have the best experience. Depending on the time and budget allocated for this activity, it is usually inclusive of meals, stay, and mingling with the locals through conversation, folk music, and folk dance, along with the main attraction of riding the famous ship of the desert. The arduous task of traversing through the desert, faced with the reality of the arid region and the magnificence of the golden dunes and vast stretches will grant travelers the opportunity to live the authentic life of a desert dweller, and it is an experience worth having.

Experience Rajasthan and its desert region sitting on the back of a camel and make some precious memories which cannot be made anywhere else.
