Sam Dunes in Jaisalmer-Witness The Splendor of Desert Country


No visit to the wild desert city of Jaisalmer is complete without an outing in the surrounding vast desert stretches. A camel ride to the Sam dunes in Jaisalmer is going to be a really worthwhile experience which remains with you throughout a lifetime. There is nothing around except sand dunes at every turn and ultimately the tourists reach an oasis of sorts.
There is luxury camping facilities, sumptuous food arrangement, cultural and entertainment facilities around the campfire in open air and an environment of jubilation which is quite rejuvenating. The Sam sand dunes are located at a distance of around 42 kilometers out there inside the Thar Desert and the only way to reach here is on the camel-back. It is sandy terrain all around with only sparse vegetation to spare the monotony.
If you love the solitude there can simply be no experience which is better compared to this. If you are able to come during the time coinciding with the desert festival in these parts which is during the months of February and March, one can witness a whole new picture. This is the time when most of the foreign tourists make a beeline for this part of Rajasthan for a holiday in Jaisalmer.
During the desert festival there is a hub of entertainment activity going on in the region of Sam dunes. There are puppet shows along with camel races, traditional folk songs and Rajasthani dances besides lots of food and beverages to keep you company.
