Jaisalmer Warnings Or Dangers Tips by tremendopunto

hot temperatures and sandstorms!

Well, you can adjust to the hot temperatures during summertime quite well. But there is nothing you can do about sandstorms. And yes, they really look like in the movies. I always thought it is exaggerated in films, but hell no! We couldnt see our hands in front of our eyes when we got surprised by a storm. We finally made it back into our room, just to see that the sand gets pushed trough every tiny slot in the windows or doors. We put carpets under the doors but they got blown away by the wind, so we had to stand on them to avoid more sand coming in. Our luck was that both sandstorms we witnessed didnt take longer than an hour. But we were told that you can have bad luck with storms going on for hours and hours.......
Still it was a fascinating experience.
