The Great Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India

The Great Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India

Here are more photos from our morning in the Great Thar Desert. After witnessing a spectacular sunrise our camel drivers made us some very delicious masala chai. A nice way to wake up in the morning. The night was chilly but they has supplied us with enough blankets to keep us warm. With no stray light present the view of the stars was simply special. After breakfast we got back on our camels and rode about 2 hours before we were picked up by a jeep that took us back to our hotel.
