India travel is full of the most memorable of moments. I found such beauty in Goa, titillating eroticism in Khajuraho and a step back in time on my camel trekking safari. I’ve always secretly longed for my very own Arabian nights moment and this was it. Looking back through my travel in India, I’ll never forget sleeping under the stars and hearing the camels snoring, and trumping away next to me.
Jaisalmer sits in the state of Rajasthan and boarders Pakistan. The Thar Desert is its landscape for camel trekking and the experience takes you back to ancient crossings and desert life. Our tour was as simple as it gets. A tour leader, his young son and a camel each. The temperature was sweltering and nothing but the hazy dunes awaited us.
