Desert Safari in India, Talk about the origin of the Thar
desert and all it evokes is controversy. But tell us ... are you really
concerned? Rather, you might be interested in knowing where it is located
because you've to get there. The Great Indian Desert is present in four
states of India viz Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat. Once you get
there, don't expect for an oasis, as is known about any desert worth its
name. But it is one of the most densely populated deserts of the world.
Surprised? Even the animal population has increased over here ... and you
were thinking that deserts were difficult for life.
Thar Desert Safari - Now that you've realized that your
fears were unfounded, let Vacations India accompany you as you

that the place has to offer such as forts, palaces, temples and desert
(obviously). There are three cities that mostly act as the base for these
safaris - Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Jodhpur.

The Safaris - Desert Safari Tour
- Camel Safari : Camel Safari is the choice for exploring the
interiors of the Thar as nothing can negotiate the inhospitable terrain
of Thar better than the ship of the desert. Along with the Thar, see the
cities, villages and historical ruins. We agree that riding a camel is
difficult but not riding it will be a lot more difficult. The major
destinations covered are Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Khimsar and Osian.
- Jeep Safari : One of the most comfortable ways of exploring
the countryside of the most colourful state of India is a jeep safari.
It really is a wonderful experience to let the wind ruffle through your
hair while you ride your way through the vast expanse of the Thar
desert. Some of the most exciting destinations are covered through the
Jeep Safari.
