Beautiful destinations in India to enjoy desert safaris
Are you ready to take a detour and explore the road less travelled? Well, here we take you to some of the most beautiful destinations across the country where you can enjoy the best desert safari. Read on to know more.
Spiti Valley
Spiti Valley is a cold desert surrounded by majestic mountains, and features a terrain that you might not have seen anywhere else. It is also one of the most popular destinations in the country that attracts adventure seekers from far and wide. When here, you should definitely opt for a jeep safari which serves as an escape for all those who wish to take a detour from the typical hill station trip, and explore the less explored part of mountains.
Jaisalmer
It’s one of the great places to visit in Rajasthan, and is situated in the heart of the Thar desert. Also known as the Golden City of India, this is where you can indulge in a desert safari tour if you are keen to explore the best of this place. Since it’s well-connected via railways and roads, reaching it won’t be much of a hassle too.
The Great Rann of Kutch
Touted as one of the world’s largest salt deserts, the Great Rann of Kutch is spread over 7505 sq km and is covered with a thick layer of salt. Every year, a number of tourists wait to attend the vibrant Rann Utsav, where they get the opportunity to savour music concerts, cultural performances, and much more. Plus, there is camel safari to take you through the desert, and its seemingly endless crystal salt marsh.
Pushkar
It’s a sprawling city that is nestled dramatically on a hilltop. A visit to this place will let you explore its surrounding desert area in the most innovative ways, one being the desert safari ride. And since Pushkar is a part of the Thar desert, it also features craggy rocks and golden dunes. You can pick your options from camel safari tours or jeep safari tours, and then retire to desert safari camp to make your trip memorable.
Nubra Valley
Sitting at a height of 10,000 ft, the Nubra Valley is yet another most sought-after tourist destination, and is also a cold desert in the Himalayan region. Its beautiful landscape is dotted with sand dunes and majestic barren mountains to amplify its beauty further. This destination is more secluded when compared to Spiti Valley, which means you get more time and space to enjoy what you love doing. Plus, it also boasts of challenging trekking grounds and lures thrill-seekers from across the world.
The most popular activity that people love to indulge in here is the safari on the Bactrian camels, which have double humps on them. These animals will take you on a desert safari ride unlike any you have never experienced before.
