In Rajasthan, traveling by camel was once the norm. Just 60 years ago, if one wanted to journey from Jaisalmer to Jodphur, the only option was an 8-day camel ride through desert landscapes. However, with the advent of modern transportation, such as roads and trains, camel safaris have primarily become a tourist attraction. Today, there is a vast industry built around camel safaris, offering both authentic and not-so-authentic experiences. To ensure a truly amazing and genuine camel safari, it is imperative for tourists to do thorough research on guides, companies, and routes. Seeking advice from fellow travelers who have recently completed a camel safari can be incredibly useful. Camel safaris can elicit mixed reactions from individuals. While some find the experience of riding a camel and immersing themselves in the desert scenery captivating, others may consider it uncomfortable and pungent. For those considering a multi-day trek, a shorter two-hour ride may provide insight into the camel safari experience. The highlights of a camel safari include breathtaking desert landscapes, the unique sensation of riding a camel, savoring Dal and Chapati cooked over an open fire, marveling at the unpolluted night sky and its countless stars, and immersing oneself in a different world.
