Rajasthan Desert Experiences in India

Exploring the India's Thar desert and traditional culture on your trip to Rajasthan gives you the chance to escape the big smoke and chaos for at least few days – much longer if you’re planing for First Trip to Rural Rajasthan with village stays and desert camping. You’ll be able to watch the sunset over sand dunes with a hot cup of freshly goat milk chai. You’ll get to stay in homestays, working farms, travel by 4x4 Jeep, on the back of a camel, horseback riding or even walking and hikes in countryse and share travel stories around a camp fire. As the sun begins to set the sky turns the desert into an open air planetarium with just the crackle of the fire and the call of desert foxes the only soundtrack, as you count shooting stars before settling down for 1001 dreams.

Thar Desert - A Living Desert

Thar also known as the great Indian desert is the most densely populated desert in the world and lies mostly within the Indian state of Rajasthan. There are plenty of villages, small town and alternative desert safaris but for many, the desert near Jaisalmer is the highlight, We at HACRA belive that travel is a pure form of education, and you are there to learn, less visited palces & unexplored countryside offers an authentic travel experience to travellers visiting the country or some may call Indian subcontinent.

Since Rajasthan is a desert state, the temperature here is mostly dry & high and the best time to visit is undoubtedly between October and early March.

Stuff you want to bring with you probably includes sunglasses, sun protection, camera (charger + adaptor), toothbrush, head torch. It quite cold from November till mid February so bring along warm clothing in layers. If you wear contact lenses it may be easier to wear glasses throughout your stay, due to dust and sand particles.

Dress for comfort when going to ride a camel and wear longer, baggy shorts or non-slip loose trousers/pants.

Don't mount a camel like you would a pony/horse. When the camel crouches on the ground, take permission of your camel driver before climb over his hump and into the saddle. Hold on tight to the handlebar. As he extends his backlegs first and lurches forwards you lean back, then lean forward a bit as he extends his forelegs and tips back a little.
