inhabited for thousands of years. huge windblown seas of sand dominate the desert with some dunes
reaching close to 500 feet in height. extreme temperature shifts, from near freezing to more than
120 degrees, make life difficult for all who call the thar home. the thar desert is situated partly
in india and partly in pakistan. in india the thar desert extends from the sutlej river in the north
& northeast, surrounded by the aravalli range on the southeast, on the south by the salt marsh known

The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large, arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent that forms a natural boundary between India and Pakistan.
It is the world's 17th largest desert, and the world's 9th largest subtropical desert. About 85% of the Thar Desert is in India, and the remaining part in Pakistan.
In India, it covers about 320,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi), of which 60% is in Rajasthan and extends into Gujarat, Punjab, and Haryana. This desert comprises a very dry part, the Marusthali region in the west, and a semidesert region in the east with less sand dunes and slightly more precipitation.
