Deep in the Thar Desert lies the medieval fortress town of Jaisalmer. Surrounded by a stark landscape, Jaisalmer creates a powerful mood of overwhelming isolation that is almost sinister in effect. Except for some isolated hamlets, not a soul is to be seen for miles around and the eye reaches far out to an ever receeding horizon.
Generally speaking, the Thar Desert extends from Karachi (Pakistan) to Jalore in Rajasthan, traversing an oblong shape, taking in parts of Harayana, Gujarat. The intense desert exists in the districts of Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Barmer, Jalore and Bhuj(Gujarat) covering a wide belt of arid, semi-arid and fertile soils. Collectively classified as “MARUSTHALA” (region of death) the Thar is divided into three distinct parts: (a) Plains; (b) Bushy Sand; and (c) Shifting sand. Parts of the plains around Bikaner have a volcanic soild, devoid of underground water. The bushy and shifting sand areas have ample of underground water. Unlike the Sahara desert, where the Sahara has many Casis due to its being based on rock, the Thar has none, but ample of deep wells, dug in recent times.
test for endurance. Yet, it most certainly is a great experience. We provide good, trained, riding camels, which can cover upto 60 km a day. Normally the safari moves 30/40 km a day over a span of 5/7 hours, with halts for lunch, tea and photography. The client rides up in the front seat, with the camel rider, taking the pillion seat. This provides clients with better view and opportunity for photography. One must sit like on horse-back, yet keep knees loose, so as to avoid rashes. Clothes must be loose fitting. Ladies can ride side saddle if they want to. On safari plenty of liquids in the form of tea/coffee, fruits and juices are provided. Aerated drinks are less advised. Food is hygienically cooked. Camps are set up in collapsible tents, near villages. Recommended items to be carried on safari are head covers (cap or hat), sun-glasses and sunburn lotions.
DAY 03 : Mandawa 
Take a camel safari and visit the magnificent "havelis" (mansions) with carved archways and intricate latticework.
