Desert National Park, National park in Jaisalmer and Barmer districts, India.
The Desert National Park encompasses 3,162 square kilometers of sand dunes, rocky outcrops, and salt lake bottoms within the Thar Desert terrain.
The national park contains geological formations from the Jurassic Period, including 180-million-year-old fossils and 60-million-year-old dinosaur remains.
Local communities maintain their traditional agricultural practices and livestock herding methods while living alongside the protected desert ecosystem.

The park serves as a critical habitat for the great Indian bustard, alongside numerous species of eagles, falcons, and desert-adapted mammals.
