Camel Trekking - Pushkar, Rajasthan, India

Camel Trekking - Pushkar, Rajasthan, India

There's nothing like riding a camel while it trots down a steep hill on soft, slippery sand. And we say that in both a wonderful and an awful way. This experience will vary from person to person, but the same problems that plague India will visit you on this experience. It's a great idea, in theory, but there are very few systems in place and your plans are changed for you often….usually resulting in an increased rate for you. Don't expect rolling sand dunes on this experience. And don't expect to be in the remote desert, free from light and noise pollution. The short 1.5 hour ride sometimes takes you on asphalt highways and sometimes through a landscape of wild pigs chewing on tumble weeds. We found the "guides" to be friendly and knowledgeable, and excellent cooks for our dinner. However, it's difficult to get complete transparency when you're booking your trip, so expect some disappointments along the way. With that said, when was the last time you road a camel at all, let alone into the desert for a night under the stars?
