I did this when I was in Jaiselmier, Rajasthan, India (very close to Pakistani border). Jaiselmier is a beautiful city, very unique. I was there for 2 days during a 3 week trip to India.
I also went to Jaipur, Rajasthan, which is the capital city. Jaipur is very dirty. The real beauty of Rajasthan can be seen after you leave the city. We took a train from Jaipur to Jaiselmier and that’s when you see the sand dunes, the beautiful huts, costumes etc. of the people in the villages.
Jaiselmier is very rural so make sure you get proper vaccines and medications if you’re traveling from U.S. or another country.
My camel ride was a very short one in the desert in the sand dunes. They also had overnight camel safaris there which would have been really cool.
You sit really high and the scary part is when its time to get off and the camels sit down really suddenly. They are peaceful creatures!
If you want a real adventure: try an overnight camel safari. They take you along the desert via camels, you camp out overnight, and all food is carried via camels, you stop and eat in the desert!
