Sam sand dunes, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
Winter days in the Thar are pleasant, so it's tempting to pack light. After sunset on the dunes the temperature drops sharply, and a desert camp can feel very cold by midnight.
The lesson
Carry a warm layer and a cap for a dune night in winter.
Jaisalmer Fort, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
Jaisalmer Fort is still lived in, with homes, temples and shops inside its walls. The narrow lanes are someone's front step, and doorways aren't backdrops.
The lesson
Ask before photographing people or homes, and keep the noise down in the lanes.
