A camp fire under the stars,
which hang large and brilliant in the sky. The
stillness of the night hides the overriding features
of the Thar Desert that is primieval, savage,
lonely. By day its monotonous regularity lies
broken only by occasional groups of colorful people
and welcoming villages, remnants of wayside forts
and palaces, each with a story of past chivalry
and glory of the Rajput era.
The Thar is a world of its own, an unrelieved
ocean of sand, dotted with dunes and scarce xerophic
shrubs, with its own distinctive wild life. Here
amongst the sun and the sand you will meet some
of the most colorful and courageous people on
earth. They respond to the rigors of life in the
desert with the exuberance of music and songs;
their vibrant attire, the upward twist of mustache
almost seem to defy the elements.
The best safaris are in the heart of the Thar,
around Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner. Variations
from 3 days to 15 days are organized, though the
optimum is a week long safari. We take care not
to pass close to any major towns, camping at small
villages and avoiding any proximity to roads with
vehicular traffic. We have attempted to recreate
the atmosphere of the old caravan journeys.
Musicians accompany the caravan, and halts are
called outside villages where the local villagers
may be invited to join the campfire hospitality.
Add to this sightseeing tours to Jaipur, Jodhpur,
Bikaner and Jaisalmer and you can look forward
to a lifetime experience of the Royal Rajputana.
Our desert hospitality team will lead you through
this exciting desert safari.
