Hot and dry from April to June (temperatures can be very high). Monsoon season (July–September) brings occasional brief rains but the desert remains largely dry. Nights are cold in winter.

Nearest city: Jaisalmer (about 40–45 km by road). Nearest railway station: Jaisalmer Railway Station. Nearest airport: Jaisalmer Airport (limited flights) or Jodhpur Airport (~285 km) for more connections. Access by road: taxis, private cars, and organized tours/jeeps from Jaisalmer; some local buses and shared vehicles serve nearby villages. Roads to Khuri are passable but expect sandy tracks near the dunes—a high-clearance vehicle or 4x4 is recommended.

1–2 days (an overnight stay recommended to experience sunset, campfire and sunrise).

Light, breathable clothing for daytime; warm layers for nights (especially Oct–Feb). Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a wide-brim hat, sturdy closed shoes for walking on hot sand, a reusable water bottle, and a headscarf or shawl to protect from wind and sand.

Try authentic Rajasthani dishes such as dal-bati-churma, ker sangri, and local rotis at village or camp meals. Camel milk products and locally prepared snacks may be available. Souvenirs: embroidered textiles, mirror-work handicrafts, local jewelry, leather goods, wooden carvings and small camel-themed items sold by local artisans.
