Camel Safari Tour

Camel safaris are a very romantic idyll, but the reality is that this is the camel has far from the most natural, or comfortable gait.

It is not like riding a horse by any means. We would strongly recommend taking a shorter camel ride for a few hours before committing to 7 days of camel-back adventure! This safari takes through some remote parts of Rajasthan, in the state’s far west, visiting forts and palaces dotted across the landscape. Accommodation is in tents (or sleeping under the stars) throughout
