India🇮🇳Making a hostel reservation for 15 cents and sleeping in the desert

Jaisalmer won the prize for the cheapest hostel of my entire trip with an overnight stay for one euro. I should have made a 15% deposit on Hostelworld to secure my arrival with these 15 cents. After confirming that I understood that I wouldn‘t get the 15 cents back if I didn‘t show up, the reservation was made. Traveling is taking risks! However, I decided to stay only one night because a few camels were eager to take us into the Indian Sahara.

After a detour of four hours clinging to the only hump that this camel had (I had a discussion with the group that a camel with only one hump is actually a dromedary, but I lost that discussion, so it was still a camel), we arrived in the ‘Sahara’, far from civilization. We laid our mats down in the lowest point between the six sand dunes, so all we saw was sand, and luckily, with this desert illusion, we fell asleep. The next day, we took the shortcut and were back in civilization after two sand dunes and half an hour of camel riding.
