It comes under Jaipur and is somewhere around 80 Kms from the main city.
After reaching Sambhar, you need to head towards Shakhambari Mata Temple which is about 15 kms from there.
The Vast Land of White Desert is what you encounter as far as you can see with mountains in the backdrop at some places.
If you are really into exploring Rajasthan, spend a night in the cold white desert of Sambhar under the smiling stars and you won’t regret the decision.
Make sure you don’t go there on a full moon, because then the Moon will steal the show and stars will hide under its bright light.
There are no hotels or guest house till now [ Dec, 2018 ]. Make sure you go there in car or have your own tent and food.
