Camel Safari is always breathless and a unique thing to try out when in India. The camels are back traversing the sands of the desert accompanied by bands of travelers. It is a rare opportunity to escape from the tamed world tone that has rough edges, and takes you forthrightly into the lap of nature. Back are the camel drivers, those men who know how to navigate across the desert using the stars. Back are the glorious tents where weary travelers can rest their weary bodies after being atop a camel the whole day. Back are the people who were essential on any caravan-the cooks and attendants, to set camp and serve hot piping meals. And yes, back again are the entertainers, those minstrels who once accompanied such journeys into the desert, to sign a plaintive lament under moonlight, or a robust, spluttering tune that seems to capture within its simple notes, the mystery and the magic of the desert.

The Thar Desert of Rajasthan and other places around like Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Bikaner grants the tourists with a great opportunity to enjoy the camel safari. If a tourist is well timed and happens to embark a visit to Rajasthan during the Pushkar or Nagaur fair, he can enjoy special camel safaris that are organized at this time. Apart from Rajasthan, Ladakh and Sahara Desert camel safari is also quite known.
