In India, it covers around $170,000 km ^{2} (66,000 sq mi)$, and the excess $30,000 km ^{2} (12,000 sq mi)$ of the desert is inside Pakistan. The Thar Desert shapes roughly 5% of the absolute geographic zone of India. The desert involves a dry part, the Marusthali district in the west, and a semidesert locale in the east with fewer sand hills and somewhat more precipitation.
