Desktop is not available in HDP Sandbox by default. You can directly connect to Ambari UI by hitting http://127.0.0.1:8080 from your local machine's browser.

If you want to install Desktop you can do it using installing gnome packages or VNC.

Please refer below URL's

For VNC installation - https://github.com/hortonworks-gallery/ambari-vnc-service#connect-to-vnc-server

Hope this information helps!

Happy Hadooping 🙂
