Itinerary

Day 1

Jaisalmer - Thar DesertYou'll begin your day with a jeep transfer to the spot where the camels are waiting for you. During the safari, you'll be accompanied by a couple of real camel drivers who belong to a camel drivers' caste. Members of this caste have been travelling with these strange animals for many generations. The camel will kneel for you to climb on, and when it stands up you'll find that you're suddenly perched up pretty high. Together with your camel driver, you'll head off, swaying a little, into the huge expanse of the desert. On the first day you'll ride for around 2-3 hours, passing through traditional nomadic villages. Here, you'll see how the local people manage to live in the desert. You'll then begin plodding once again though bare plain, which will gradually turn into rolling sand dunes. The journey today ends at your camp on the dunes, where the meals will be provided and you'll spend the night under the stars. The camel drivers certainly know how to turn a few simple ingredients into a delicious meal. You'll sleep in a romantic tented camp, where all the necessary facilities are available. Your tent will have a mattress, sheets and blankets, so you'll only need to bring along a small rucksack with some clothing and toiletries.

Day 2

Thar Desert - JaisalmerThe next day, you'll make an early start. In the mornings, the clear desert can be pretty cold, but within an hour temperatures will soar. At certain times of the year, the difference in temperatures in a single day can be 50 degrees. You'll ride for 2 hours this morning, passing traditional desert villages with clay huts. Eventually, you'll end up on the outskirts of Jaisalmer, where you'll say a fond farewell to your camel and his driver. After this, you'll be taken back to Jaisalmer to continue with your trip.
