Morning light strips color across open sand as a single caravan of camels creaks away from the jeep track and into the Thar. The first day begins with a sunrise breakfast at the camp outside Jaisalmer, then the slow, rhythmic sway of a camel trek across rippled dunes visiting Bheelon ki Dhani and Salkha — villages where dust and daily life move at the pace of the desert.
