Sand dunes – People come to Jaisalmer for sand
dunes. Khuri and Sam are the two places
where sand dunes are present. Both are about 40 km from Jaisalmer but in
opposite direction. We went to Sam sand dunes and stayed in a tent for a night.
If you can spend more days, head for desert trek or safari.
