Located in the heart of the Thar Desert, Bikaner is a vibrant and regal city steeped in desert charm, architectural grandeur, and camel heritage. Known as “The Camel City”, Bikaner is one of Rajasthan’s most culturally rich yet underrated destinations, offering a mix of magnificent forts, ornate havelis, sacred temples, and golden sand dunes.
Bikaner was founded in 1488 by Rao Bika, a Rathore prince and son of the founder of Jodhpur. Unlike other desert cities, Bikaner developed into a prosperous kingdom thanks to its strategic location on the ancient trade routes between Gujarat and Central Asia. The city flourished under royal patronage, resulting in grand palaces, temples, and the iconic Junagarh Fort—a rare fort not built on a hill. Bikaner also became a center of camel breeding and remains home to the Indian Camel Corps to this day.
A stunning blend of Rajput, Mughal, and Gujarati architecture, Junagarh Fort boasts intricately decorated halls, courtyards, balconies, and temples. Unlike most forts in Rajasthan, it’s built on a plain, showcasing its strategic military design.
A former royal palace built in Indo-Saracenic style, this architectural gem now functions as a luxury heritage hotel. Its red sandstone structure and opulent interiors speak volumes of Bikaner’s royal past.
Learn all about the “Ship of the Desert” at this unique institute. Visitors can enjoy camel rides, taste camel milk products, and explore camel-related exhibits.
Often called the “Pride of Bikaner,” these 19th-century red sandstone mansions are famed for their intricate facades and lavish interiors—an architectural feast for the eyes.
Located in nearby Deshnok, this temple is dedicated to Karni Mata and is famous for being home to over 25,000 sacred rats, which are revered by devotees.
Situated on the banks of a lake, Gajner Palace offers serene surroundings, while the nearby sanctuary provides a glimpse of desert wildlife like antelope and migratory birds.
