Jeep Safari
Jeep safari through the deserts of Rajasthan, is a thrilling and an
unforgettable experience because Rajasthan is the state marked for its
forts, havelis, and the colors that exude splendor and royalty. Desert jeep
safari is the most adventurous and fulfilling of all the safaris that one
can undertake as going through a rugged terrain on a desert is not the kind
of experience that one have every other day in one’s life. Jeep safari
is most ideal for those who have less time in hand and want to have an
extensive travel, as they are faster and more comfortable than the camel
safari.
Facilities Provided during the Safaris
An advance group goes ahead to organise the evening's camp-usually
self-sustained, with its own kitchen where food is cooked over wood fire,
and tents are provided for the accommodation. Baths are prepared for the
travelers, and kerosene lamps are used for lighting purposes. Mostly
bonfires are organized around which evening cocktails and dinner is served
and all of this creates an enchanting atmosphere where one can relish the
folk music played by the local villagers and experience the most ecstatic
moments of their life while sitting under the stars.
