One of Mother Nature’s rarest works

When you hear the words Desert and Park together, you know you have signed up for something extraordinary. Jaisalmer’s Desert National Park promises no less. Stretched across 3,000 sq km between Jaisalmer and Barmer districts, this singular stop features guests an unforgettable natural spectacle featuring rolling sand dunes, jagged rocks, and salt waters. Creating a striking contrast to the lush green woodlands that are often associated with National Parks. One leading highlight of the Park is the fact that one will come across many singular and fascinating species of flora and fauna flourishing in this harsh environment. Find an impressive population of camels, black bucks, chinkaras, desert foxes as well as the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard. Seeing them thrive in a safe natural haven is sure to capture your heart. Winter months turn the Desert National Park into a haven for both migrating birds and nature lovers. A visit to this park is too a great opportunity to discover the region's deep cultural roots, with many ancient ruins and classic rural settlements within its boundaries. Another remarkable showcase of this park is that the dunes here can reach up to 200 meters in height. Making it a worth visiting stop for all desert safari enthusiasts. Summer months are ideal for camel rides through the dunes, when winter is ideal for Jeep safaris.
