- 3 Snow Yard (Moon Land of Rajasthan), ☏ +91 1463 294 644. 10AM-5PM. This former waste disposal site for marble processing byproducts is now a snow-themed park run by the Kishangarh Marble Association (KMA). It is popular attraction among photographers as the calcium-carbonate-rich slurry has built up into white "mountains", which evoke the glacial fields of Switzerland more than the Thar Desert Rajasthan is known for. Several Bollywood movies are shot here for a snowy backdrop without the exorbitant costs for exotic places. Expect spending hefty on professional photography.
