Travel for an hour, an afternoon, a day, three days or
more, with jeep* and/or camel. We provide camels and english speaking guides.
A jeep can be arranged for those who wish to continue their safari on four wheels
instead of four legs!
Visit the Rajput villages far out in the desert. Meet
with their inhabitants who have never left the desert, many not ever having visited
Bikaner itself. Their children will welcome you in their unique way with true
desert hospitality, hoping you might have some sweets in your pocket!
Picknick wherever you like, cook your dinner out in the
wilds. Ride up into the dunes and make yourself comfortable in the sand to watch
the sun set over the desert, drinking tea and listening to the unique sounds of
the nature.
An
unforgettable evening awaits you when you return to your camp on camel, your route
lit by starlight. Relax on comfortable Indian style beds named "charpais",
maybe with a chilled glass of beer*. The camp is lit with oil lamps and in the
winter months a bonfire will add to the atmosphere. While relaxing, dinner will
be served, accompanied by music from the rural folks. Dancers will give a performance
like you have never seen before. With the ever increasing rhythm of the drums,
they pirouette faster and faster around the bonfire, finishing in a climax which
has to be seen to be believed.These dancers are famous all over the region and
are often requested to dance at Royal Weddings.
Stay in the camp, out in a tent* or sleep in the dunes
under the stars. Enjoy the romance and the mystery of such a night. Skies unlike
any in the west, their brightness only accentuated by the total darkness of your
surroundings.
If you are looking for more comfort, return to Bikaner for your overnight stay.
We have accommodation to suit all tastes and all budgets - from a clean simple
guesthouse to five star luxury. We also offer unique programmes in and around
Bikaner for sightseeing by camel, jeep or car, always with the services of our
local staff to take the best possible care of you. You can book your safari by
