CAMPING,
SIMPLE OR STYLE A LA MAHARAJA CAN
BE DONE ANYWHERE, be it over
sand dunes, in the wilderness or over
the ramparts of lonely forts. The
great makeshift kitchen, barbecue
and pulsating folk performances are
ideal to create memories of great
days that linger on forever. |

Camel
Safari
The ship of the desert, the camel,
was domesticated thousands of years
ago primarily for the purpose of making
tedious journeys through the unrelenting
Thar Desert. So, how would you like
a camel safari - to explore the eccentricities
of Rajasthan on the back of the most
native guide? You may go for a short
safari through a typical Rajasthani
village or a long-distance expedition
lasting a few days. The best times
for travelling are the cooler parts
of the day, the mornings and evenings.

Horse
Safari
The
significance of horses for the Rajputs
cannot be undermined. The royalty
of Rajasthan, the charming and gallant
Rajput kings, always traveled on horseback.
They were said to be born with riding
skills and their horses were among
their prized possessions. Horses were
important for the military and the
many wars in Rajasthan's history were
waged on horseback. Are you game for
an adventurous safari on the back
of this aristocratic animal?
Horse safaris are usually conducted
in the scenic hilly territories and
the beautiful forested plains near
Udaipur, Ajmer or Samode as well as
the sandy and rocky fields of Jaisalmer,
the Shekhawati region or the Jodhpur
area.

Horse
and Camel Polo
Considered the most prominent and
elite sports, polo has always been
popular in Rajasthan. Horse polo is
taken more serious and is played by
professional teams with thoroughbred
horses. Camel safari provides more
amusement and is unique to Rajasthan.
Bicycling
Bicycling can be relaxing or exhausting,
as you choose it to be. In either
case, cycling to experience the crowded
streets or to explore the countryside
is extremely enjoyable and refreshing.
Cycling is also the cheapest mode
of transportation.

Jeep
Safari
Rajasthani villagers have still not
caught up with modernity Cars and
Jeeps are considered the modern version
of camels (with greater speed, of
course). Half-day long trips to such
villages are therefore popular by
jeeps. Bishnoi villages, around Jodhpur
and Nagaur, are among the most visited
- partly due to the unique lifestyle
of the Bishnoi community and partly
to their legendary ethics on ecology.
The
extensiveness of Ranthambhore National
Park and other Wildlife sanctuaries
permit the use Jeep as the best
and safest mode to see the diverse
wildlife in Rajasthan. The dusty
and not so comfortable ride is particularly
rewarding if you are lucky enough
to see the elusive tiger.

Wildlife
in Rajasthan primarily consists of
those surviving on dry deciduous forests
of the eastern parts and those on
arid zones in the west. Surprisingly,
Rajasthan is full of diverse wild
animals. Even more interesting is
the fact that all such areas are relatively
easily accessible and can be well
connected with each other into a circuit.
The forests in the eastern
part of the state are a home to the
Tiger and Ranthambhore is quite famous
for its visibility. Along
with the tiger, other animals like
leopard, jackals, chinkara, antelopes,
etc. are commonly found. |
Ranthambhore National Park- Declared as a National Park
in 1980, the park has a wide range
of fauna including the elusive tiger,
chitals, leopards, nilgais, chinkaras,
etc. The artificial lakes at Ranthambhore
also support the wide variety of birdlife,
with no less than 270 species, including
some migratory visitors. Best time
to visit: October to April.
Sariska Tiger Reserve and National
Park- Tigers are the big attraction
at this National Park that encompasses
800sq. kms. of predominantly dry mixed
deciduous forests. It was established
as a sanctuary in 1958, and incorporated
into Project Tiger in 1979. Other
than tigers, the Park includes leopards,
chitals, chinkara, chowsinghas and
more. Best time to visit: November
to June.
