Sam sand dunes

Imagine being in the centre of the desert, the yellow sandstone buildings surrounded by the majestic dunes and further intensified by the sun’s golden rays. Sam Sand Dunes is one of the finest and most natural in the country right in the middle of the historic forts and vibrant markets, some rising as high as 30-60 meters tall. Lying about 40-42 kilometers from the golden city of Jaisalmer, the dunes are situated over calm and winding stretches of golden yellow sand stretching for about 2 kilometers along the Jaisalmer Desert National Park ‘s borders. Travelers come here frequently to see the spectacular sunrise and sunsets.

One of the most picturesque places to wind down and get in contact with nature, you can also discover the flora and fauna here. Take a camel ride and go on a scenic tour of the dunes. Or rent a quad bike over the nearby villages for a exciting ride. You will experience musical nights there, folk dance, puppet shows and a chance to taste the Rajasthani aromatic cuisine. Treat yourself to star-watching, linger at the stunning desert camps and experience the vibrant life in the desert. With all this and more, the Sam Sand Dunes are among the most popular places to give its tourists a worthwhile experience.
