Visited Sam Sand Dunes near Jaiselmer the point which is famous in Thar desert for Desert Safari and camel riding. The safari rides are along the breathtaking crests and troughs.
The Thar desert is a must place to visit as very different in nature. Best time is the winter only. Summer is very hot unbearable.

Abandoned Village, Kuldhara, Near Jaiselmer established around the 13th century, it was once a prosperous village inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins.
A 2017 study suggests that Kuldhara and other neighboring villages were abandoned because of an earthquake. However, a legend claims that the village was abandoned overnight as the lecherous minister Salim Singh was attracted to a beautiful girl from the village and villagers abandoned the village overnight.
Spent about an hour in this ruined village and visited a ruined temple.
Jaisalmer also known as the golden city stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone and is crowned by the ancient Jaisalmer Fort. This fort contains a royal palace and several ornate Jain temples. Many of the houses and temples of both the fort, and of the town below, are built of finely sculptured sandstone. The town lies in the heart of the Thar Desert (the Great Indian Desert). Spent about two-three hours in the premises of the fort and was really astonished to know the architecture of the fort provided cooling effect in the rooms of the fort during very hot summer or Rajasthan.
Shopping in Jaisalmer provides a lot of opportunities for tourists for purchase of variety of goods, handicrafts like mirror work embroidery, Camel Leather Products, Fossil Stones, Souvenirs and Gift Items.
