The hot Lunch is served under a cluster of trees. The day is rounded up with dinner being served around a roaring campfire under the starlit sky with local folks singing haunting Rajasthani folk music. Jodhpur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer - three stone sculpted cities rising out of the golden sands of Rajasthan. Here the blazing sun creates illusion of shimmering lakes in eerie silence and sand storms rage occasionally. Yet the Romance of the Desert overwhelms.
Life vibrates to the sound of music and sways in a profusion of colours.
Parts of the plains around Bikaner have a volcanic soild, devoid of underground water. The bushy and shifting sand areas have ample of underground water. Unlike the Sahara desert, where the Sahara has many Casis due to its being based on rock, the Thar has none, but ample of deep wells, dug in recent times. From 11th to 16th century, it d rew many races of people to settle in Thar. The tribes of Meena, Gujars, Johias, Jats, Mohils, Banjaras and Rathore Rajputs moved in.
