Group in November 2008: Sambhali and Setrawa

Khamaghani readers, friends and family members of our adventure travellers.

I will try to keep you informed through new photos all few days about our latest experiences. All are well and good mooded. The only incident so far was a jostling cow in Jaisalmer who, with her head, brought Margarete to fall. Our shock was eased by Margarete´s laughter - thank God nothing happened.
On 17th in the morning we visited the Sambhali Project
"Empowerment of Harijan woman" on the 1st floor of the Guesthouse, the young women performanced a traditional dance for us.

In the afternoon we were driving to Setrawa,
our desert camp home out in the Thar desert,
about 110 km from Jodhpur.
Traditional Thar desert clay hut with courtyard in Setrawa.
Relaxation after arrival.
Afternoon chai chat
Dinner in our camp courtyard.

Next day camel ride
Later we visited Sambhali´s Village Project, the Setrawa school.
Welcome-kumkum and -sweets.
Kids of our school and guests sitting to watch...
... dance performances by the project girls.


After our visit we prepaired for our leaving to Jaisalmer.
