Some advise on travelling by camels

Tips to fellow camel riders

The guy behind the desk doesn’t really have any control. Over what camel you ride so requests like making sure the guide has his own camel etc. won’t really be passed down. The guy to speak on that is the local that comes with you in the jeep.

Insist that you want a guide that has his own camel

Go when the moon is at its fullest. It’s magical.

Make sure that you get to control your won camel and also run. (running was the one thing I could not fully do)

When controlling the camel always speak to it. Continuously speak to it. Sing songs to it. They very easily forget that there is a rider sitting on their back and then do what ever please them.

Trust the camel. You are only a guide. He knows the way better than you do. This is a tough one

Take the food you want if you want any special goodies.

Travel light. Blankets etc. are not really necessary.

450/- is the price I paid and that’s damn good. But bring additional to pay the guide. Buying him a gift is not worth. If you want to bring gifts, bring beedi’s or liquor for him. But he will most prefer money.

Avoid giving things to the villagers even if the cutest girl in the world asks for anything.

You can go see Dhanni directly. Take a chance and go to his village of Kotri. Busses leave from Hanuman Circle at 3.30
