Wonbin Safari Jaisalmer

Camels are pretty much the poster boys of the desert, and the Wonbin Safari lets you visit an actual camel farm as the first stop of the tour. After you get to know all about these fantastic beasts and where to find them, try your hand at sand boarding! Surf the dunes and take some amazing photographs (before the inevitable tumble!). If that sounds too ambitious, just get some chic henna art on your hands and feet. The tour ends with a scrumptious barbeque dinner and some belly dancing too. Ooo la la!
