Sand Dunes, Rajasthan

Rajasthan is one of the most beautiful states in the country. Lying to the south-west of the national capital of Delhi, it is primarily a desert state. However it has a rich history encompassing tradition, valour, patriotism, beauty and an unsurpassed beauty.

The Dune series has a bug-eyed monster too. It is called the sandworm. The sandworm lives on the desert planet of Arrakis also called as Dune. There is however a vast and rich landscape that is built around the sandworm that makes Dune such a lasting classic.

Jaisalmer in Rajasthan North India Zone is like a golden mirage, something out of a dream. Generally there are a few very populat tourist destinations for the dunes, such as the Sam Sand dunes. Rajasthan is not a sandy desert - it is a rocky one. Sand dunes typically turn out to be a massive sand heap in the middle of the desert surrounded by a good amount of vegetation.

Jaisalmer is also known for its sam sand dunes in rajasthan. A camel ride is one of the most self revealing things one can ever do. It reveals that you are heavy, that you have a spinal cord, that you have a butt that can ache like crazy and that you would rather walk than stride atop a camel for a 10 kilometer ride.

After Jaisalmer almost every place has its volume turned down. Bikaner is more of a city than a quaint town. Reaching the Junagarh fort is an exercise in maps and discussions with the locals. However, the insides of the fort are just as impressive as they can ever be. The delicate carvings on wood and sandstone, elaborate paintings in vegetable dyes, and tall spacious halls is a hallmark of Bikaner. Bikarner provides its own guides to most of the places including the fort.

Jodhpur is called the 'blue city'. The brahmins were asked to paint their house in blue, in order to identify them as brahmins. Over time a number of other also picked up this habit and and a significant number of these housese are now painted blue. However do not expect to see blue all over the place, the best view of the blue city is from the ramparts of the Mehrangarh fort itself. Otherwise, you will see blue, but only in small isolated patches.
