Osian is a small village not very far from Jodhpur. It can be reached by the local bus, from Jodhpur to Osian, around 1 hour journey. Me and my mom had a short, 1-day, stay with a family outside the Osian. They live at the edge of Thar desert. Once we arrived in Osian, we had a 4-hour camel ride to their house.

Pimp my ride!
My second camel ride, this time in Thar desert. |
 |
| Heading towards their house. It was a long way. |
 |
| We didn't really go into the desert, we just hanged around the edge of Thar. |
 |
| Traditional house in the remote area of Thar. |
 |
| Lunch time!!! We are their honoured guests :) |
 |
| Our lunch. Home cooked food is always delicious. Yum yum..... |
 |
So this is where we stayed for the night.
No roof since rain is not a concern in the desert.
The roof would have blocked the beautiful starry night sky. |

| Our beds viewed from far. |
 |
| These two goats provided all the milk during our stay. |
 |
| An evening walk to a spot, for a better view of the sunset. |

| He is the head of the family, super nice guy. |

 |
| It's time to wake up!!! |
 |
Breakfast - sweet porridge with milk and sugar, fried salted chapati with onions
and a cup of milk tea. A great way to start a day. |
 |
| She is chef, cooking every meals for us during the stay. |
 |
| The next morning after the breakfast, we headed back to Osian bus station by jeep. |

This is another good memory during my trip to India. It is always great to escape to the remote area, away from the civilisation and from the honking sound of the crazy traffic in India.
