Cholistan is presently inhabited by 100,000 semi-nomads moving from one place to another in search of water and fodder for their animals. The nomads belong to different tribes, though most of them are descended from settlers who came from Balochistan at least 200 years ago. The women wear long and full red skirts and embroidered shawls and the men pile bright color turbans.
Camel Safari is the famous festival of the Cholistan Desert in which one can enjoy singing and camel dancing. There is a chain of forts built at 29km intervals when traveling in Cholistan Desert, which serve as guard posts for the camel caravan routes. There are three rows of these forts; the first line of forts begins from Phulra and ends in Lera, the second from Rukhanpur to Islamgarh and the third from Bilcaner to Khaploo. Some of them dated back to 1000B.C. and were destroyed and rebuilt many times.
