This one's from Manvar - another beautiful place in the Thar - a village in Rajasthan. This place is situated in the middle of the Thar desert between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.
We stayed at the Manvar desert camp. They also have a resort 7 km from the desert camp. A very well maintained and a lovely resort, I must add. During dinner, there is a Rajasthani folk dance and excellent folk music at breakfast. There is also a similar desert camp in Jaisalmer, Sam Sand Dune's desert camp.
I must say it's worth the stay in these desert camps. The tents they have in these desert camps are Swiss tents and are excellent. Spacious, and they also have a small bathroom (with decent bathroom fittings) attached with every tent.
They take you to a desert safari, in a four wheel drive jeep. This picture is from the desert safari :). I drove the jeep in the desert convincing the driver to let me drive it.
The chilies looked very tasty, but I didn't dare try them!

Chillies in the desert! With no water to quench one's burning throat.. what a contrast!

Awesome mate! I wish I could run away to Rajasthan leaving my work behind.

Looks hot! :-) Can't believe there's someone sitting on the heap. When people work with chillies, and something gets into their eyes, I wonder what they do!

was searching the net to get contact details to Geoffrey Muthanna’s coffee estate in Coorg (whose contact details I have misplaced) and found a reference on you site. It will be wonderful if you could send me some contact details as I wish to travel there during the diwali hols.
