The arid and semi-arid regions of Thar Desert
stand divided between India and Pakistan. A vast expanse of hot
sand mountains, Thar Desert yields sal and gypsum. The scanty rainfall
and extreme climate makes it a perfect desert experience topped
with warm desert people who are ready to entertain the visitors
with their folk dance and music performances in their characteristic
colorful dresses, camel and elephant rides. Sand dunes, thorny bushes,
parched thirsty fields, broken rocks along with majestic forts and
palaces that rise from the barren backdrop like a mirage makes Rajasthan
a preferred place for the tourists to visit. It is difficult to
believe that this land was once under the sea and was full of varied
marine life.

new territories. In the course of time, man developed new modes
of transportation and communication and venturing out on these difficult
routes were not needed. Nevertheless, what remained was his nature
to take risks and getting pleasure in conquering something totally
unknown and unexplored. This inner urge to take up challenges has
led man to do things that are quite daring.

Rock Climbing
It is not quite easy to define rock climbing, but it is not difficult
too. Anyone who claims to be a rock climber has his own version
of the game. Rock climbing for some is to challenge their spirits
and explore new heights, to give a fillip to their unbounded imaginations;
for others, it is a way telling the world that he/she has finally
arrived. For many of the professional rock climbers, it is not a
sport. Can you call a mission to moon a sport or pastime? If not,
then why should rock climbing be called a sports is the argument.
For them, rock climbing is an adventure of the greatest magnitude;
it is a fight against self, against the elements, and the ultimate
goal is to reach the summit and return back alive.
