Thar Desert
Also known as the Great Indian Desert is the 18th largest subtropical desert in the world. It is 200,000 square kilometres in area and how else to travel this ocean of sand but on the "ships of the desert". My first camel trip!
The plan was to travel by camel to our campsite and sleep under the stars. I suppose there's a clue in the category of desert "subtropical". We had just finished dinner when the thunder and lightening started, followed by heavy rain! The camels were abandoned and Monty called for the jeeps-back to the hotel in Jaisalmer!
Can you guess why we couldn't stay in the desert if there was a lot of rain?........snakes!
