More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun slides low over wind-sculpted ridges as your vehicle drops you onto the edge of the great Thar. Sand shifts underfoot; a cluster of canvas and low lights marks the camp where choices range from open-sky beds to insulated luxury tents. By evening, a bonfire draws the group together and musicians begin the slow, percussive stories of western Rajasthan.
