Rajasthan
is bestowed with a unique and quite diverse topography encompassing many
desert towns and cities, rocky hills, lakes and table lands. The Aravali
ranges acts as a great divide and that runs across the state from south west
to north east. The north west regions are typically sandy where as south
east are more vegetative and fertile. These features provide enough scope
for various on road expeditions and safaris. The popular safaris available
in the state are Camel Safari, Jeep Safari, Desert Safari and Horse Safari.
Usually the Camel Safari and Desert Safari takes to the same destinations.
There are places however, that lie beyond desert precincts and are covered
in the Camel Safari.
Camel
Safari
A cursory glance at Rajasthan's portfolio will at least reveal two things
camel and the sand dunes. Such is their association that it is hard to make
a mental picture of the popular state without any of these symbolic
references. From time immemorial camel has been employed as means of
transportation in the this region. Camel - the ship of the desert, is one
means to reach any place within this state. Camel safari takes you to places
mostly lying in the north west of Rajasthan. Some of these places are
Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Khimsar, Osian, Badabagh, Salkha, etc.
Jeep Safari
Jeep Safari is an ideal choice when the area covered is comparatively
large. The rugged terrains and rocky lands offer great opportunities to run
the tyres of your jeep over. Jeep Safari is mostly available for the south
east regions, particularly the forest lands. Ranthambhore and Sariska are
the preferred places for Jeep Safari in Rajasthan.
