In keeping with the image of Rajasthan as the tourist's favorite haunt, whole range of sporting facilities are available in Rajasthan, the most exciting of them being theCamel Safari. For the desert people of Rajasthan the camel is often their only mode of transport through the Thar Desert. Started some years ago, the camel safari takes you through the villages of Shekhawati where mud huts as well as the old 'havelis' (large houses of nobility and the richer Marwaris or businessmen) are adorned with the most exquisite paintings. You can experience rustic Rajasthan. You can actually travel on camel back from Bikaner to Jaisalmer to participate in the Desert Festival or lumber along from Nagpur to Pushkar for the cattle fair. The loping gait of the camel can be tiring but it is a memorable experience and camel safaris have become extremely popular. Yo can spend a whole fortnight in Rajasthan and still go back unsatisfied -- there is so much to see.
