The sun tilts orange and the dunes seem to breathe as your caravan threads away from the last lights of Jaisalmer. Camels step with a slow, deliberate rhythm; sand rises and falls like a soft tide that dares you to match its pace. By late afternoon you cross low dunes, pause for a wide desert sunset, and watch the sky sharpen into a dome full of stars.
