General Riding Instructions

The camel is a tame animal; however, care must be taken. Follow my instructions to make Camel Safari in Pushkar as comfortable and safe as possible.

• When mounting the camel, lean back and make sure you are comfortable in your saddle.
• When the camel stands up or sits down, tilt back again and tightly hold the reins (mori).
• Always keep the reins when riding, as you will be rocked gently back and forth.
• When turning right, pull the right rein gently into the right direction; when turning left, remove the left one to the left.
• For galloping, pull both reins together slowly and give the camel a slight kick on both sides with your legs.
• To make the camel stop, pull both reins backward quickly.
• Pull both reins and mouth the word “Jhu Jhu” to make the camel sit down.
• To get it walking again, pull the reins up.
