My Camel
by herzog63
Isn't he a handsome devil?? LOL Actually I was lucky to get him as he was the most behaved of the camels in our group!! And I was the only one with the beautiful camel cover!! When the trek starts out you have a big bag of straw to sit on and it's quite comfortable as far as a bag of straw goes but after the 4 ½ days the bag of straw is very empty! Then your sitting on Raw Camel! Lucky for me I had my sleeping bag to sit on.
Abandoned villages
by herzog63
On our camel trek we passed through a couple different abandoned villages. They seemed quite interesting and I don't remember why they were abandoned as they had some very nice Temples and buildings. Maybe it was the lack of a water well. Or everyone decided to move into Jaisalmer.

I recommend getting a jeep ride at the beginning of the trek, so you save forty or fifty km of pain in your behind. We did a different trek to some dunes and some empty villages in ruins and we did not see any fellow travellers for the whole two days.
Camel safari
by munki
I went on a 2 -days camel trek with 2 French girls, 2 porters and 4 camels. We took a jeep at the start of the trek and stopped in a temple and village before meeting the porters and the camels.
I have to point out that the porters were great; they really worked very hard to make sure we had a good time. I've never ridden a camel before but they are used to people and very docile. The desert views are great, sleeping by the dunes is an unforgettable experience and being the guess of the porters gives you a great opportunity to experience the hard life in the desert.
