[edit] Information

Deserts and Life: The Thar Desert The Thar—or Great Indian—Desert is the most densely populated desert in the world and has been 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 as the Rann of Kutch (parts of which are sometimes included in the Thar), and on the west by the Indus river plains.
