The Junagarh Fort: Without a doubt Bikaner's most famous
attraction, the Junagarh Fort dates from the 16th century and is home to a
fantastic textile museum.
Beyond Junagarh, Bikaner's
highlights include the colonial Laxmi Niwas Palace and the Lalgarh Fort, which
served as the Rajputana royal family's home for centuries.
Magical Camel Safaris: Ride a camel through the Rajasthani desert with
expert guides who know every birding spot and photo opportunity.
Rajasthani Food is Spectacular: From bhujia (chickpea chips) on the
street to thalis that cover the entire table and a dizzying variety of sweets,
Rajasthan is a great Indian destination for gastronomes.
The
Karni Mata Temple is a Hindu shrine dedicated to the goddess Karni
Mata. Karni Mata, located 20 miles from Bikaner, is a Hindu temple with a twist:
the priests revere rats, seeing them as sacred guardians. It's a lovely spot,
but it's only for rodent fans.
