My First Desert Safari

By Sheril @bsheril

Well have you ever gone to a desert ??? Where there is no water ,no vegetation ,no roads ?? During my national trip i got a chance to see Jaisalmer which is Rajasthan, it’s on the western side so its full of desert .We started at 2 pm in afternoon .It was almost an hour drive from the hotel where we stayed , slowly we entered the region where i cant see shops ,houses and green trees .It was full of sand and in some places with tents  for night stay and camp fire .So we reached the spot ,since everything is pre planned we just sat on a camel but it was so thrill to sit on a camel for the first time . It’s easy to sit on them when its on knees ( sitting posture ) but when it starts to get up i m sure one will shout,it will pull oneself to front and back  .If one doesn’t catches the holder firmly then for sure one will be down in sands with injuries. It never looked like a desert to me at the starting point i thought it would be like mummy movie ,slowly as i entered i can see only sands dunes all around .It was really nice to see desert for the first time and the sand was so soft .It was evening and we all geared up to see the sunset on camel ride ,This was the main highlight of this safari .I took lots of photos during the sunset and another interesting thing is the bug .The bug from the movie mummy ?? I sure everyone might know this ..i saw  similar kind but medium in size . At-last I sat in sands for few mins and enjoying the cultural dance .Later on we moved to a camp fire-place where we had a cultural dance with dinner ..almost  I enjoyed the ride .Next time my desert safari would be in Dubai
