Camel Safaries trace their origin to the age of overland trade between India and China when caravans would journey along the' established trade routes laden with the herbs and jewels. The latest activity in the Thar desert is the camel safari. Route navigation in the desert is an acquired art and the caravans are required to be trained in riding of camels, reading of the stars and the shifting of the sands of the terrain.

The best safaris are held in the heart of the Thar, around Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner, Besides desert heartland, other options for the Camel safari is the Shekawati region visiting towns like Ramgarh, Nawalgarh, Dundlod, Mandawa and Churu.

Safari organisers attempt to recreate the atmosphere of old caravan's journeys. Musicians accompany the caravan and halts are called outside some village where local people are invited to enjoy campfire hospitality.
