Best Things to Do in Sam Sand Dunes Jaisalmer
A night at Sam Sand Dunes can be as busy or as quiet as you like. These are the experiences most worth your time.
Watch the sunset from the dunes
The reason most people come. Get out onto the sand an hour before sunset and watch the colour change.
Take a camel or jeep safari
A camel safari is slow and classic; a jeep safari is fast and fun. Both bring you to a sunset point.
Try quad biking or parasailing
For a dose of adventure, ride an ATV on the sand or see the dunes from above on a desert parasailing flight, subject to wind.
Have dinner on the dunes
A private table on the sand, with candles and lanterns, is the most memorable meal of many trips.
Look up at the stars
Away from camp lights the sky is remarkable on clear nights, especially near the new moon.
Go off the beaten track
A non-touristic desert safari takes you to quieter dunes and rural desert landscapes away from the crowds.
Spend a slow morning
Walk out on the sand at sunrise, when it is cool and empty, before breakfast and check-out.
Stop at Kuldhara on the way
The abandoned village of Kuldhara lies on the way between Jaisalmer and Sam and makes a good stop. Book a sightseeing taxi to include it.
