📄 Image slot — three dune camp scenes compared: dechu quiet sam dramatic khuri village-fringed.
Three dune options, one honest comparison (each page: the Dechu, the Sam-Khuri).
The compare
| Factor | Dechu | Sam | Khuri |
|---|---|---|---|
| From Jodhpur | ~2 hrs | ~5 hrs | ~5 hrs |
| From Jaisalmer | ~3 hrs | ~1 hr | ~1 hr |
| Crowds | Thinnest | Heaviest | Light |
Good to know
The belt runs on desert logic: the day belongs to the temples and the road, the evening to the dunes and the fire. Build this stop around one unhurried hour rather than a quick photo.
Practical notes
- Timing: daylight hours suit most visits; confirm the day’s window locally.
- Costs: any entry sits in the nominal range — small notes settle it.
- Getting there: the belt is car country — fuel and daylight rules apply.
