JAISALMER-MANVAR

After breakfast we drove to Manvar, our "luxurious," permanent tents, located in the heart of the Thar Desert. Tents are very nice with front porch, and bathrooms with flush toilet, running water and electricity. It is very peaceful and quiet. Very sandy and very dry. In the late afternoon, we rode in jeeps to a very small, very rural "untouchable" village. The people were very friendly and invited us into their homes. Inside the women don't cover their faces but when men other than their husband are nearby they quickly put their veil in front of their face. Later that evening, back at our tent camp, we went to a fireside cultural dance performance. What a unique opportunity to enjoy Rajasthan's desert life, culture, wildlife and beauty!

Overnight in the Manvar Camp.
