Rajasthan Jeep Safari
The thrill and excitement of Jeep Safari in the deserts of Rajasthan are unparalleled. Jeep Safaris are one of the fastest ways of surveying the colorful Thar Desert. Not only will you come across stark desert landscape but you will also pass through quaint little
desert villages and by embarking on a Jeep Safari you are provided with a lifetime's opportunity to explore the hidden charms of some of India's most remote and colorful villages.
As you embark on the adrenaline pumping Jeep Safari in Rajasthan, you are transported to a whole new world of stark and desolate landscape full of breathtaking sand dunes and every now and then you come across tiny villages, which are a riot of colors.
You travel in the daytime and cover approximately 150 kms. on an average every day. Bear in mind that most of the time you will be traveling on off-the-beaten-path roads which are not very well developed and often you even venture into the countryside. But do not worry as you will be provided with an expert navigator with years of experience under his belt and well versed about the various desert routes.
Apart from the amazing landscape, you will be surprised with the cultural diversity of the desert villages. The vast distances between each settlement means that each village or hamlet has its own distinct cultural ethos and way of life all of which adds up to the incredible folk diversity.
There are certain stretches of the desert where you won't hear the jingle of bells as camels or sheep wend their paths from village to village. And with them go the hardy people of this part of the world and centuries of tradition follow in their steps.
