 The
India Safari Club after conducting many camel safari's and mobile
desert camps in crowded and touristic places like Jaisalmer, Bikaner
etc. Has finally chosen a permanent camp site-Osian-this permanent
camp is first of its kind in India. Which makes it possible for even a
single traveller to experience the desert and a camel safari near
Jodhpur rather than travelling all the way to Jaisalmer.
This ancient village is the gateway into the merciless thar desert
and is legendary for it's mesmerizing 6th / 8th century temples,
sand-dunes and diversity of Rajasthani culture and tradition. Besides
the comfortable camel safari one also gets to see proud local
tribes--- Bishnois, Bhils, shepherds, potters, weavers etc. In their
natural surroundings. And not to mention the various varieties of
desert wildlife-the likes of bluebulls, gazelles, foxes, peacocks,
partridges etc.
Once at the camp -nestled in the dunes your host Reggie Singh grandson
of Maharaj Ratan Singh a royal of Jodhpur will invite you for an
evening of splendour with cocktails, folk entertainment and a semi
formal candle lit dinner.
