For some, the endless stretches of the desert rolling into the horizon can be a depressing sight. Yet, it's only 
when you see this image for real, rather than on postcards, that you realise what solitude is, and what being amidst nature that is so barren and yet so beautiful can feel like.
It's only a desert safari that can expose you to the brilliance of the magical, mirage-inducing golden sands. Hop into an open jeep, or better still, on a camel that will take you around the Thar Desert's sand dunes near Jaisalmer.
Meet the locals, borrow their colourful pagdis for a picture and if you are lucky to meet a gregarious one, you will hear tales of the bravehearts who fought in the sands, or get invited into their rustic home to share a simple, yet mouth-watering Marwari meal.
As you spend the night underneath glimmering stars, you might be shaking off a sore back from travelling atop a super slow camel. But, trust us, that sore back will seem worth the experience.
Thrillophilia organises five-day camel safaris that will have you explore isolated sand dunes and local life.
