Visitors explore sand dunes while composing or reciting verse under starlight.
Rajasthan has introduced Desert Poetry Walks, nighttime events combining walking tours with creative expression. According to Hindustan Times, participants are guided by poets, lanterns, and reflective prompts while traversing sand dunes.
Participants report inspiration, relaxation, and cultural enrichment. Organizers provide safety measures, thematic guidance, and opportunities for public reading. Critics cite desert hazards, but proponents highlight mindfulness, literary engagement, and unique tourism experiences. Future expansions include seasonal walks, competitive poetry challenges, and collaborative storytelling across dunes.
