What is Desert National Park?

Quick answer

Desert National Park covers a large arid landscape in Jaisalmer and Barmer. It is habitat for the Great Indian Bustard, called godawan, and for other desert wildlife. Entry is regulated.

Detailed answer

This is not the same thing as a commercial dune camp at Sam. The national park has restricted areas because the bustard is critically endangered. Do not drive off a permitted track to look for one. Disturbance is part of why the bird is in trouble.

A Jaisalmer trip can include a regulated visit if the current rules allow it. Ask the forest office, not a hotel tout, what is permitted this month.
