Photo of the Week: Sand Dune, Thar Desert
Blog: Never Ending Voyage - 21 August 2011
On Thursday we flew to Hong Kong and began our second trip to our favourite continent Asia. It is scenes like this one in the Thar Desert near Jaisalmer, India that draw us back. We took an uncomfortable camel trip out into the desert, just us and our guide on trusty steeds. The highlight was [...]

Blog: Diario de a bordo - 3 August 2011
Jaisalmer, 21 de enero de 2011Esa mañana nos levantamos con la calma tras el resacón de emociones que nos proporcionó la cena en casa de Mahendra. Dilip nos preparó diligentemente el desayuno y comimos sin prisas con las vistas de la ciudad a nuestros pies.

¿Cómo ponerse un sari?
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 27 July 2011
En la entrada anterior sobre Jaisalmer, os expliqué que la mujer de Mahendra nos enseñó a vestir el sari. Además de prestar mucha atención, grabamos un vídeo que he preferido poner en una entrada aparte para que no pasara inadvertido:

Día 12: Jaisalmer (viaje por el norte de la India)
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 18 July 2011
Jaisalmer, 20 de enero de 2011Tengo que admitir que me defraudó que Mahendra no nos estuviera esperando con una orquesta en la estación de Jaisalmer, ya que, conociéndolo, era una posibilidad. Lo cierto es que cuando finalmente bajamos del tren y nos vino a saludar, volvimos a sentir que estábamos en familia nuevamente.

Photo of the Week: Jaisalmer Fort
Blog: Never Ending Voyage - 6 February 2011
Jaisalmer Fort lived up to expectations in India. It’s one of the largest forts in the world but looks like a sand castle. We loved wandering through the maze-like streets and discovering hidden Jain temples.

Rajasthan Camel Safari in the Thar Desert
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 8 October 2010
It was something that we have always wanted to do. Take a camel safari through the desert and sleep under the stars. Rajasthan is the place to do it in India and we wasted no time booking a trip once we hit Jaisalmer. It didn't turn out to be the mystical experience that we were expecting. The Thar Desert is more of a desert of shrubs and not exactly the most pristine landscape, but it did have it's moments on the sand dunes where we felt like we had stepped back in time.After editing our video below, it has softened our memories of our time with our guide Bilal.

Camel Safari Adventure, Not so Mystical in Rajasthan
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 22 January 2010
We awoke bright and early to catch our tour to the desert. We were excited to be on our way. A camel safari was a big item on our list of adventures that we wanted to do in India. The day was bright and sunny and we drove out 30 km towards the Pakistan Border. We were happy to see that we had 4 camels and two guides.

Safari Booking in Jaisalmer, Taking Back Control?
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 21 January 2010
It was raining in Jodpur, so we gathered up our driver that slept in and sped off down the road. We are stuck with our driver so we decided to lay down some ground rules. While we made our plans in the back seat, we discussed the fact that we were going to book our camel safari through who we wanted. When we got to the guest house that Shanker (our driver) had planned for us, we were not going to let them sell us on their safari. We were going to say thanks, but no thanks we have our own.

The Luck Runs Out
Blog: Passed Ports: images and anecdotes from our travels - 31 December 2009
After our visit to the Taj Mahal, we headed to Udaipur via overnight train. (We decided to skip Jaisalmer, the first stop for many on the Rajasthan loop, based on recommendations from several friends). Udaipur is an architecturally stunning city, beautiful from afar; but, like so much of India, it all falls apart up close. Covered [...]

Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
Continued from Lady and the Leopard...Destination #5: GaltaAfter my exciting albeit tiger-less safari in Ranthambore National Park, I headed back to Jaipur for a quick stop in Galta. Galta, a collection of 250-year-old temples, is on the outskirts of Jaipur's city center, and is a peaceful haven from the chaotic Pink City.

Rajasthan
Blog: By Way of the World - 19 September 2009
We began our 10-day whirlwind tour of Rajasthan in Agra, which is technically not in the state of Rajasthan, but very close. Our next stop was Jaipur. Jaipur is known as the "pink city" because most of the buildings are painted a shade of orangey-pink.
