Camel Safari in Ladakh Also known as the " Ship of desert" , Camel has
been the major mode of transportation in deserts. They are known as the lifeline
for the desert people. Camel Safari has been a experience that is happening since
the ancient times, when no other modern means of communications were developed
by man and animals were the sole transport used for communication. To the surprise
of many people who are aware of camel Safari in the hot deserts of Rajasthan only,
will be surprised to know that camel safari is carried out in the cold deserts
of Ladakh also. Tourists can enjoy the soft adventure of camel safari in Ladakh
in the months of July, August and September. As one explores the rugged mountain
terrain on a camel back, one feels far removed from the earth. A real memorable
experience. An experience that one won't be able to forget whole of life. Reason
being that beside the savage and extreme image of this cold desert lies the adventure
of exploring the beahtiful . . landscape and passage through remote villages.
How about camping in tents, experience spending the night under the stars.
However,one needs to learn the balancing act and get used to the movements of
camel, while one is on a camel ride.
One can explore the charming villages of Nubra on camel back. Nubra Valley is
a fascinating place.In Nubra one can find a small population of the shaggy double-humped
Bactrian camels, which in the old days were used as pack animals on the Central
Asian trade route. During the past 50 years, they have been bred for transport
purposes in Nubra. Today visitors to Nubra can use these animals for going on
camel safaris. The main population centers are Deskit and Hunder.
Camel Safari provides a commanding view of the valleys, villages and Buddhist
Gompas. Tourists can inspect the Panamic village- the last leg of Camel Safari
and visit hot springs locally reputed to have therapeutic qualities More Adventure
