A visit to Death valley.
Nestled between the borders of California and Nevada, Death Valley holds the record for one of the hottest places on Earth. But what truly makes this place extraordinary? Death Valley, a land of extremes, is not just about scorching temperatures , it is a geological wonder. The park stretches over 3 million acres, featuring sand dunes, salt flats, mysterious singing rocks, and even snow-capped mountains. Yes, you heard that right, snow in one of the hottest places on Earth!
Geographically, Death Valley is a marvel.It sits at the lowest, driest, and hottest point in North America. Badwater Basin, a surreal landscape within the park, lies 282 feet below sea level. Despite its harsh conditions, life finds a way. From the resilient bighorn sheep to the tiny pupfish,each species has adapted uniquely to thrive here. The desert blooms with wildflowers, transforming into a vibrant canvas after rare rainfalls.
Preparation & journey.
This year we decide to go in Death valley park ,California. I always have annual leave in January so we ( me & my wife ) apply visit visa in USA embassy by December which got approval after 15 days process. We book the return tickets from Dubai to las Vegas via Dammam - Amsterdam - las Vegas. Actually only direct flight available by Lufthansa was so expansive and tour operator advice to do Dubai - Dammam by air Arabia and then took KLM flight from Dammam ( Saudi Arabia) to Amsterdam and then to las Vegas. I like his suggestion and book the tickets. 
On date 15th of January, we start our travel to our dream destination from Dubai. Almost 18 hours in flights we reach las Vegas airport where pick up service from Fairfield inn suites were in wait. Within 30 minutes we checked in the room with tiring bodies due to long journey. My wife's feet get swallowing due to long sittings which requires some steaming moisture. We decided to stay in hotel and do some shopping from las Vegas in next two days we inform our tour guide as well.

On January 17th , Maxtour's 4WD GMC with a pretty female tour guide was in hotel lounge to pick us. When we came down in van , surprisingly another couple from Malaysia was there too. Muhammad Qasim and Osara Qasim were from Malacca city and belong to a business family. It was early morning 8 am when we start the journey from las Vegas towards Death valley park.
The first stay was stovepipe wells hotel which is one of the early place to get fuel and food. We travel 110KM till here and took almost an hour.
