Sam sand dunes

Is September a practical month to plan Sam sand dunes?

Quick answer

Sam sand dunes in September: September eases only slowly. Nights are kinder than May, middays still punish. November to February. Not a May afternoon. If you want the spectacle, go with your eyes open. Do not spend your only Jaisalmer night here and miss the fort.

Detailed answer

A plan for Sam sand dunes has to start from the journey, not from a wish list. If you want the spectacle, go with your eyes open. Do not spend your only Jaisalmer night here and miss the fort. It is close enough to its usual hub that the journey can be part of a day, if you do not bolt on a second major sight. The mistake this note names is specific: equating Sam with the national park

In September the Thar tendency used for Sam sand dunes is this: September eases only slowly. Nights are kinder than May, middays still punish. November to February. Not a May afternoon. Do not turn that sentence into a promise about a park gate, a boat, a ceremony or a train.
