  2. It's hard to place a date on the invention of tents but across the world, in various cultures there is prehistoric evidence of usage of tents around the world. While tents are usually associated with adventure activities like hiking and mountaineering, earlier they were largely used as substitutes for homes and protected primitive civilisations from harsh weather conditions like snow and rain. You can also get a taste of tent living by going for a vacation in some of those luxurious traditional camps in Rajasthan, which offer a unique getaway experience, away from the hustle and bustle of life.
