Jaipur: Kishan Bagh Sand Dunes Park
Operating Hours:Wednesday - Monday: 06:30 - 19:00
The Vibe:Desert dunes, inside the city limits.
A restored desert landscape below Nahargarh ridge, created by rehabilitating degraded land into stabilised dunes. It was designed to show Rajasthan's desert ecology without the drive to Jaisalmer.
Wooden walkways cross sand that holds the day's heat into the evening. The ridge blocks the city entirely, so it is unusually quiet.
