The Thar Desert, or Great Indian Desert is a 200,000 to 446,000 km arid region stretching across northwestern India to Pakistan. The small percentage of it my camel and I explored fascinated me. Would love to have had more time. #Rajasthan #travelwriter #India #BestwayTours #TharDesert

Picture shows 2 men from the Bishnoi community in the Thar Desert brewing Opium Tea. 'To the present day, the Bishnoi brew their opium tea for their own ‘amal ceremonies’ or as a welcome drink for their guests. Seeds from the opium poppy or small balls of raw opium are crushed down, boiled in hot water and flavoured with sugar and spices. Then the brew is sieved multiple times and drunk from the host’s cupped hand. The effects of Bishnoi opium tea, traditionally weak, allegedly mirror those of a glass of wine' (extract from https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/1106155/ ) This traditional use of opium seeds is exempt from the strict laws governing the use of opium in India.

Reviving The Hakra: Restoring A Lost River And Desert Civilisation The Ghaggar-Hakra once sustained a great civilization; its colonial damming fractured ecosystems and livelihoods. Reviving it could restore desert resilience

The Hakra River once fed the Indus Valley’s desert edge—until colonial engineering severed its flow. Can restoring it revive ecosystems, livelihoods, and justice?

थार रेगिस्तान की हरियाली: बंजर भूमि में जलवायु परिवर्तन और मानवीय प्रयासों का चमत्कार Thar Desert Greening: भारत का थार रेगिस्तान, जो कभी गर्मी, सूखे और बंजर जमीन का पर्याय था, अब हरे-भरे परिदृश्य में बदल रहा है। वैज्ञानिकों ने उपग्रह चित्रों के जरिए खुलासा किया है कि राजस्थान और गुजरात के इस विशाल रेगिस्तानी क्षेत्र में वनस्पति का दायरा तेजी से बढ़ रहा है। थार रेगिस्तान, जो उत्तर-पश्चिमी भारत और दक्षिण-पूर्वी पाकिस्तान के बीच लगभग 2 लाख वर्ग किलोमीटर में फैला है, अब भूरे रंग की बजाय हरे रंग की चादर ओढ़ने लगा है। यह परिवर्तन न केवल आश्चर्यजनक है, बल्कि पर्यावरण और स्थानीय समुदायों के लिए गहरे प्रभाव वाला भी है।

Woke up to Billy Joel’s “shades of grey” playing as an ear worm… premonition??!! 🤦🏾
