Quite
the most unusual outdoors activity in Rajasthan is to take a camel safari
for some of the entire duration of your trip. While the experience can be
memorable. It provides an alternative way of exploring this desert state.
About the only thing you will have to get used to, when you plan a camel
safari, is the ungainly movement of the ship of the desert. The camel may
look aloof, but is the lifeline for the people of the desert whose
communication needs depend on this vital beast for their very survival. Most
journeys into the hinterlands are still made on camel-back, or in camel
carts, and the camel is also used for ploughing the arid fields of the
desert. A saddle is mounted across the camel's hump, providing comfortable
seating for two, legs astride. Suggested Camel Safari Itinerary:

The
most regal way of seeing Rajasthan is on an elephant safari, since nothing
can even compare with the majesty of the pachyderm-no wonder the rulers used
elephants for their journeys. Equipped with a howdah, a large seat on which
they would sit, complete with soft silk cushions, and with a ceremonial
umbrella over their heads, modern day safaris may pale in comparison, but
are no less regal on that account.The elephant treads slowly and steadily, and a safari would be ideal in and around principal towns, especially in the vicinity of wildlife sanctuaries where the same elephants can do double-duty for viewing wildlife.
