📄 Image slot — a three-stop day route with salt flat crane and temple icons on a loop map.
Three stops within an hour of Phalodi (each page: the salt, the cranes, the temple pattern).
The loop
- Dawn — Khichan cranes: the feeding spectacle.
- Late morning ; salt flats: the salt-works drive.
- Afternoon ; Deshnok: the Karni Mata temple ; the temple-in-territory pattern.
Before you go
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.
Tickets and timing
- 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.
