Sam Sand Dunes:
There is no point coming to the Thar Desert if you don't
go for the Desert Safari. That is why Sam sand dunes are
becoming the major attraction in Jaisalmer. Sam Sand Dunes
are situated at a distance of approximately 42 km from the
city of Jaisalmer. 3km long, 1km wide and as much as half
a kilometer high, the dunes are as treacherous as they are
scenic. The Sam Dunes really come alive during the desert
festival with a sound and light show, and gala spectacles
of dance and music which will reverberate in your ears
long after you have heard it. |
