  1. This is a short documentary of our trek for ten days into the Thar Desert from Jaisalmer, an ancient city in Rajasthan, India. With just three camels; Papu, Lalu, and Babaloo and our trusted guide Rhman, we set out with all the food and water necessary for the foray.
  2. In India there is an old tradition that motivates Indian people to roll from one end of the country to the other at a certain time of year. This is done as a sign of gratitude after ones wishes have come true. Daniel came across this man in the desert of Rajasthan after 8 days and nights of rolling. An interview was out of the question due to dizzyness... all he could do was spell his name.

  3. Rajasthan is a harsh desert land chocked full of fairy tail kingdoms. The Rajputs controlled this part of India for over 1000 years and entrenched themselves in gigantic fortresses and built magnificent palaces. Today, most Rajasthanis live a very hard life in the harsh drought prone desert. Despite the drab surroundings, the people are the most colorfully dressed in India.
