Far from the bustle of the cities, nestled in the lap of golden sand dunes – a desert camp with all modern amenities, where you get a close look into the vibrant life of the people of The Thar - the Indian Desert. You will be amazed to see their mud and reed thatched huts that keep the insides cool even in searing summer heat and be touched by their smiling hospitality. The folk music and dance forms of The Thar region will enthrall you, specially the Kalbelia, where women in black and silver costumes sway to the music of the snake charmers’ flute. Then there are the camels – the lifelines in any desert! The animals look fearsome and it is a challenge just mounting one, but once you get used to its rhythmic gait, you really enjoy the desert views from a height.
