Bikaner, the Important Desert City of Rajasthan

Bikaner, like other caravan towns in Rajasthan, was destined to see its power and prosperity progressively fade with the development of railways and ports in the coastal area of ​​western India. As Bikaner is located in the immediate vicinity of the great Thar Desert, going on a desert safari is the obvious thing to do in Bikaner. Jeeps and camels are available for safari in the sand dunes. You can choose the duration of the safari, including the opportunity to camp in the desert and attend popular dances and music. Depending on the duration of the safari, you can see different destinations like Raisar, Khichan, Balakaya Dhora and Phlodi on your Bikaner Tour Packages.

The old city preserves the medieval atmosphere unchanged and gathers around the high walls, filled with beautiful arenas, merchants’ palaces, temples and bazaars. Despite all the fairy tale wonders the city has to offer, interestingly in recent decades Bikaner has received international notoriety reflected mainly in another place, located about 30 km away and called Deshnoke. This is where the famous Temple of the mice, Karni Mata, which seem to arouse so much interest and horror in foreign visitors. An interesting cattle fair that takes place in Bikaner usually in the month of Pausha, between December and January, could in itself be an excellent opportunity to reach this remote caravan town. So never miss any opportunity to explore this during your Bikaner Trip Packages.

What To See in Bikaner

Junagarh Fort

Junagarh Fort, one of the best examples of Indian architectural mediation between military fortress and sumptuous palace, preserves humble buildings within its mighty walls, replaced by the original buildings, added or enlarged by rulers in the following four centuries. But all the witnesses of the constant patronage of the arts and high craftsmanship were generously provided by the family, who did not hesitate to summon masters from all over Hindustan, who left so many traces of artistic styles and schools.

Karni Mata Temple

Karni Mata Temple is probably one of the most popular in Bikaner Tourism. This temple is known for its sizeable population of mice that are permanent residents. Dating back to the 15th century, this temple is dedicated to Karni Mata, who was the incarnation of Goddess Durga. Karni Mata, being the incarnation of the Goddess, brings her son back to life and declares that from now on her family would not face death but would reincarnate as rats. Today, there are around 20,000 rats living in the temple premises and they certainly attract the attention of many travelers.
