Aopmc India Travel

One of the most unforgettable and enchanting experiences you can have in India is to ride through the rippling, windswept desert on camel back and camp out under the stars. Taking a camel safari will also give you the opportunity to witness the rustic, rural desert life of India. While the desert can be barren, it’s also surprisingly well populated.
Where Can You Go on a Camel Safari in India:
The most popular place for camel safaris in India is in the desert surrounding Jaisalmer, in Rajasthan. Great camel safaris can also be done around Bikaner, also in Rajasthan. Many companies will give you the option of choosing your route, so you can decide if you want to take the road less traveled, or the more touristy track. It’s also possible to go on a camel safari in the the alpine desert around Leh Ladakh, mainly in the Nubra Valley from Hundar to Diskit. The camels on these trips are the double hump Bactrian variety.
What Reputable Companies Operate Camel Safaris in India:
Be sure to take care when booking your camel safari as the business is very competitive and it’s definitely a case of you get what you pay for. Cheaper deals may seem appealing initially, but you’ll find that the quality of food, bedding, and other necessities is lower. Most hotels in Jaisalmer will organize safaris but it’s better to go with specialist agencies such as Ganesh Travels (just inside the Fort, Ph: 250138. Email: ganeshtravel45@hotmail.com) and Sahara Travels (next to the Fort gate, Ph: 252609), which are both well regarded. Shahi Palace is also good. In Bikaner, Vino Desert Safari is highly recommended.
How Many Days Do Camel Safaris Go For:
It’s possible to go on a quick camel safari and return the same day. However, most people prefer to go deeper into the desert for up to four days. Many choose the two day/one night option. Longer seven, 14, or 21 day options are also available for hardcore enthusiasts! You can get an itinerary tailored to meet your needs.
