Awesome place to be visited in Rajasthan... Its 40 Kms away from Jaisalmar city. Just get a cab they will charge Rs 500/- to drop. You can see the full sand (after crossing some 20 KMS) and huge wind mills (for generating power in the desert). Warm and Friendly welcome from the resort people. You can go to resort (Tent House), only table fan will be available. If you need A/C then it will be Concrete walls, since its Desert you can't stay more time inside the tent between (11:00 AM to 7:00 PM), other time it will be too good. Starts with jeep safari (chargeable) and then tea and then camel safari for (sun set view point). They (camel safari) people will charge more to see better view point little far from normal view point. They will take little inside into desert, their sand level will be huge when Camel is going down in the dunes. Camel leg till knee it will go. Then live dance program will be conducted over their and they serve snacks and tea during that period. Alcohol will be served but chargeable. Nice dinner with few dishes of rajasthani style and will get butter milk (which is very good). Early morning Sun Rise camel safari also available (but we missed it) it will be chill in the dunes over there... Till 7:00 AM you feel the chillness inside Tent or outside also. Have a breakfast and leave to city.!!! Enjoy the stay in Tent.!!!

Sand dunes are actually dynamic natural structures. They grow, shift and travel.

Honestly the place is very peaceful. I took my own tent with Me and placed it at a peak top spent around 2-3 hrs in a place away from people and public or private transports. A camel took me up there. Only problem with sand dunes is that there are local Muslim boys approaching you very often which makes it very uncomfortable to decide whether or not to pay for their services. They follow you with their bikes. That's stupid.
