Jaisalmer and Sam are the best location to experience golden sunrise and sunset and the vast no footprint desert. In Sam you can book a stay and just opposite you will find endless desert. Oct to Jan is the best time when its little cold. Summer is horrible with too much heat and heat waves.
We went by flight to this Jaisalmer, booked a tent stay in Sam, stayed for 5 days. Total cost was around 30k per person.
