Desert Moon ( Boutique Family Guest Houst ) Jaisalmer

... with monkeys lining the root, these monkeys were nice/lazy and weere just busy topping up their tans on the rocks. The view from the top was incredible as you can see the old boundaries of the city walls with minarets, palaces and forts towering over the bazaas. On the way up we made friends with a kid called Ganesh who was 13, he spoke amazing english and was telling us that for the last 3 weeks he had been given a vidoes camera from a british group who were maing a film, and he ...

... golden sandcastle rising up out of the scrub desert, Jaisalmer fort is an amazing site above the now sprawling city lying at its base. It was constructed on top of Triuka hill and is composed of 99 enormous bastions, each connected to the other with a strong, tall stone wall. Inside the protective wall of this ancient fortress are Jain temples, guest houses, and old Haveli homes from a faded era. <br><br>The citadel is in ...

... goes into the middle of nowehere where no other groups can go and also that profits are distributedwith all the camel guides... Both lies though, and when we went for a small evening walk over the dunes we found 2 other camps tucked away from rival groups! But it was a fun day and super cool to sleep on the desert with massive dung beetles everywhere!<br><br>h'ok much love<br>xo<br>P and L

... At first, the desert was much more shrubs and rocky ground, but as time wore on we reached some beautiful dunes, where it was possible to play out your ultimate Lawrence of Arabia fantasies! <br>We stopped for lunch, where our two guides disappeared to collect wood. they made a fire and in no time at all had chai, a curry and some chappati bread on the go all at once. As I admired how graceful my Japanese compadres were in eating this rustic meal, I ...

... animals and I was not afraid to enter the room and take some pictures as well as video of them flying around. We got back in the jeep and and drove for another 30 minutes in the blistering dry heat before arriving at the point where our camels were waiting for us. Yaarit did not have a Desert Princess outfit and had to settle for taking repeated baths in SPF 50 sunblock. She was looking pretty ghostly. We mounted our camels...Yaarit on her own and I with Mr ...

... of most small cities in developing nations all over the world. with just a little more aesthetic desert sense, however, this place manages to pack in all the charm and utter indianness of india. the only downside to a two week whirl of this part of the subcontinent is the one big blur that results, inevitably, from city after desert city of blue tinged buidlings, forts, and castles that peer over the masses from hilltops and lake surfaces. the camel ...

... landing. M is out of my sight and probably 300m away. Next thing I knew the lady was running to M, I guess M had gone too close. The lady must be an experienced biologist or something, looking at her gears and she stayed at the guesthouse, I realized later. M told me the lady said the cranes will get stressed and disturbed if M get too close. M was truly apologetic, she never thought of it that way. At ...

... ils fait trop froid ( la nuit dans le train ou dans le desert) soit on est super bien mais on doit se lever aux aurores. Nous traversons le desert du thar. Il y a quand meme de la végétation sous forme de petits buissons puis le sable partout ! Le train fait un boucan d enfer. Ce matin on était frigotifiés ( encore ! à cause du métal du train catégotie sleeper) mais là le soleil commence a chauffer donc on se découvre ! Il faut vraiment avoir tous les types de vetements ici ! C est top l ...

... overlooking the whole town which twinkled at night we knew it was just the place for us. (setting high standars for all you boys at home!) Once back at our hotel we were excited to have hot running water...actually comeing out of the shower head. I, who had gone yet another cold shower only the night before was somewhat jelous when kelsey began her own rendition of 'all i want for christmas is hot water' at the top of her lungs from the steaming bathroom. too good to ...

... no contest! We had a big beautiful room with crafted ornate stonework on the sandstone walls . The roof terrace was a stones throw from the Jaisalmer fort which I could stare at for hours - its so captivating and unlike anything I've ever seen. The lonely planet describes it as a "giant sandcastle in the middle of the desert" which is a good description. We had beautiful curry which the friendly chef made from scratch (we have re-ordered it ...
