Bikaner Trip

Nestled in the arid expanse of the Thar Desert, Bikaner is a vibrant city in northwestern Rajasthan that boasts a rich blend of heritage, desert charm, and architectural splendor. Often referred to as the "Camel City," Bikaner is famed for its majestic forts, intricately carved havelis, colorful bazaars, and, of course, its connection to the ship of the desert — the camel. A city founded by Rao Bika in the 15th century, Bikaner remains a proud stronghold of Rajputana glory and artistic finesse. At the heart of the city stands the Junagarh Fort, an architectural marvel untouched by conquest, with ornate palaces, pavilions, and frescoed interiors that reflect centuries of royal opulence. Nearby, the Lalgarh Palace and Ganga Golden Jubilee Museum offer glimpses into the regal lifestyle and historic legacy of the Bikaner royals. For spiritual seekers, the Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok — famous for its revered rats — offers a unique and surreal experience.
