Bikaner at a Glance
About Bikaner
Perched in the arid Thar Desert, Bikaner is a medieval city that exudes a timeless charm. Its standout attraction is the imposing Junagarh Fort, a 16th-century citadel adorned with intricate sandstone carvings and beautiful gardens. One unique aspect that draws travelers in is the vibrant camel market, where locals trade and care for these majestic creatures, offering a glimpse into the city's rich cultural heritage.
The best time to visit Bikaner is during the winter months (October to February), when the desert climate is relatively mild. For first-timers, we recommend hiring a local guide to navigate the city's labyrinthine streets and hidden gems, such as the Lalgarh Palace, which offers a glimpse into the city's royal past.
