Camel Safari In Osian Desert Nearby Jodhpur
We tell you about our safari The "Thar" engulfs in itself three prime cities of Rajasthan - Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur (Osian). Around these cities, one finds huge and endless stretches of sand dunes. Thar is a culture, a life in itself, a home for many trebles, animal and bird species. You will surely be amazed to see this different kind of ecosystem where inspire of harsh conditions in summer, without water, flowers bloom (a cactus specie) and reptiles venture out of earth. The evenings are much cooler than you can expect and it is more marvelous to sit among sand dunes in evening, with campfire on and folk music sulking inside with countless stars overhead. Inspired by the THAR, our camel safari is also named after it - THAR CAMEL SAFARI because it gives you a complete flavor of the region combined with the traditions and color of earth. Hail to the ship of the desert - CAMEL, without it you cannot expect life in this region of the world.

Review of: Bishnoi Village Safari Half Day Tour
A wonderful experience of village safari with Om Prakash ji, driving in the desert was so much fun, spotted few blackbucks.Went to a local shoe shop in the village Salawas, this old man is making beautiful juttis from years and is the only shop in the village. Had delicious meal made by Chotta Ram's wife. Watching durries/ carpet weaving at Chotta Ram Ji's house was a very enriching experience. This is their ancestral business. Thank you so much Om Prakash ji and Chotta Ram ji for this wonderful experience.We will be back soon to enjoy this rustic experience again.…

Review of: Bishnoi Village Safari Half Day Tour
First we went looking for the blackbuck. We saw plenty of these shy creatures, but from a distance. I think we chose the wrong time, 2 pm even on a winter afternoon is way too warm for the animals to be scouring barren land. And there was no water body nearby. Om, our safari guide was chatty, knowledgeable and drove the four- wheel in a manner that was meant to add an element of adventure to the whole exercise. Then we watched the opium ceremony in the Bishnoi village ( Om told us a very interesting story about how the name came about. I always thought it was a community. But apparently an ecologically evolved saint laid down 29 rules to protect the environment. Anybody who practised them became a Bishnoi. Bees in hindi is 20, noi is 9!) The opium ceremony was hilarious, even more so when Om, without batting an eyelid said, we don't eat meat, we don't drink, so opium is our only vice! We went to the village sculptor and everyone watched shapes magically come alive in his deft hands. Some of us even tried our hand at it. Then we went to Om's house and had sumptuous dinner of bajre ki roti ( made on chulhas), kadi and cabbage subzi, with of course the famous Rajasthani garlic chilly chutney. Om's brother has been instrumental in the dhurrie makers forming a cooperative so that they have better market access and can command better prices. It was a delightful few hours that we spent doing different things before Om dropped us back at our Airbnb on the outskirts of Jodhpur. Thank you Om, and thank your family for all the hospitality ❤️❤️…

Review of: Art and craft tour
Very unique experience. In half a day you get to see Black Bucks & Nilgai up close, meet villagers in the hinterland of Rajasthan and also sample and learn about traditional art forms and traditions. The best part is that the Prajapati's who run this are weavers by profession and they stay in the same village as the Bishnoi's, therefore the experience is much more authentic. Om, our guide was very warm and knowledgeable. Icing on the cake was the home cooked meal we had at the end of the trip at the Prajapati's family home. Apart from the usual touristy trappings of a city, this is an experience that you must sign up for. Pro tip: they also run a beautiful homestay that's listed on Airbnb.…

Review of: Bishnoi Village Safari Half Day Tour
It is not a Bishnoi village trip. That's just a small part of the trip. Actually, we went to just one Bishnoi house. But then the trip gives a very good feel of the rural side of Rajasthan. The best part was blackbuck sightings. We indulged in some pottery making. Also, the family is a very good host. The chula-cooked food was also good. …
