Sam
Sand Dunes
Located at a distance of 42 kilometers from Jaisalmer, Sam Sand
Dunes is the closest point to witness the total sandy desert. You can also see
the patterns and motifs created by the shifting sands and air. Moreover, Sam Sand
Dunes also provide you with an unforgettable experience of camel rides and the
sunset.
The culture, the people, the way of life, and the breathtaking
beauty of the surrounding desert landscape complement the adventurous spirit.
If you've ever yearned to explore whole new worlds, to experience the ruggedness
of the unlimited expanse of sand, then what could be a better place to satiate
your adventurous spirit than the Sam Sand Dunes!
Any trip to Jaisalmer
is indeed, incomplete, without a trip to the most panoramic dunes of Sam where
the wind is unceasingly carving out scenic patterns, on the sand! The Sam Dunes
really come alive during the desert festival with a sound and light show, and
gala spectacles of dance and music which wiil reverberate in your ears long after
you have heard it.
The Sam dunes are also the most picturesque spot around
Jaisalmer, and perhaps the whole of western Rajasthan. Sitting there in the evening
with the sun setting, listening to the ballads of the legendary lovers Moomal
and Mahendra (see Moomal Ki Meri for details) on the jew’s harp or the narh
(a traditional musical instrument), you might feel that time has come to a grinding
halt. The silken smooth sands of Sam look like a tale out of the Merchant of Venice
and camel safaris are much in vogue here.
