    @Prakash Anoop You are gradually gaining experience and I could see the difference today. 3 things you have to take care and you and your jeep will conquer the sands like a maestro. One of the best advice I got from @Carnity club during my 1st drive - from the famous @Frederic is always take care to gain higher ground whenever you climb up from the beginning. You can't change your  climb up angle once you are already committed to the approach angle. You can't turn your wheels into the climb slope once you feel your approach angle was wrong and you are losing ground. Obey the car and don't make it fight gravity. DANGEROUS. Come down and reattempt if needed.  2nd most important advice was from @Foxtrot Oscar the ridge riding queen. Whenever you ride a ridge try to be in the middle of the ridge by having both your front wheels on either side of the ridge. This way you will be in more control of the steering movements of the car. Flatten the crest of the ridge and don't bother about the underbelly of your car as its protected by bash plates. 3rd advice was from Professor @Ale Vallecchi. When driving on soft sands deflate to 11psi which is roughly 1/3 of your normal tire pressure. These 3 advices and implementing them correctly made me a better offroader. I was grumbling inside when @Ale Vallecchi asked me to deflate further down to 11psi and was thinking Ale was about to destroy my tires. After almost an year into off roading I'm thankful he gave me the courage to deflate to that tire pressure. Hope you drive with @Chaitanya D & @Wrangeld to hone your technical dune driving skills more. @Wrangeld is the DCT champion because technical dune driving is his strength. 

    Thanks a lot @Thomas Varghese for the valuable advice
