North India - Bikaner Camel Safari!

Our final stop on the trip was Bikaner, another Rajasthan town.  Outside Bikaner, we went on an overnight camel safari in the desert.  

What a beautiful sunset!

Ahh...how sweet!

In the chilly morning of the desert, some local girls came to check out the foreigners camping in what may have well of been their backyard.  Adina poses for a picture with them.

We begin our camel safari in the morning.  We had 2 camels, 1 camel cart, and 3 camel dudes escorting us through the desert.  It was hot so sun shade was necessary!

Here are our camels taking a break at lunchtime~ they do this really odd thing where they roll around in the sand like a dog rolling around in the grass to cool off.  What a weird animal!


Escaping the mid-day sun in the shade of the camel cart.

Yep~ Mandi is actually riding a camel through the Indian desert~ Really?
