Camel Safari[/caption]
The animal with a hump on its back, decked in traditional outfit and adornments, undoubtedly grabs attention of the tourists in Rajasthan; but the real delight is if you experience the rippling desert sitting on its back. A ride on the back of a camel is often considered as a royal ride.
The 'Golden City' of India must be visited during the cooler dry months, that is, from September to March. Camel safaris in India are a must in the deserts around Jaisalmer and Bikaner.
Camel Safari Essential tips
- Take caution while climbing on the camel. Grip firmly when it is kneeling or standing. Mind the wobbly moves.
- To avoid having aching legs, make sure the ride is not longer than two hours at a stretch. Prefer to have a padded saddle.
- Dress to bear the sun and the low temperature at night. Cover your skin as much as possible. Must wear a cap or a hat during the day.
- Insects do cause trouble at night, so carry an insect repellant along with you.
- Take a small day bag and carry sunscreen, sunglasses and torch.
- Your stomach should neither be empty nor full during the ride as it may cause nausea.
