Bikaner Frequently Asked Questions

We help you prepare for your trip and ensure an effortless and enjoyable travel experience.

Bikaner has a proud and distinct military history. The rulers of Bikaner maintained strong ties with the British Indian Army and raised the famous Bikaner Camel Corps, which saw action in campaigns across China, Somalia, Egypt, and both World Wars. The Junagarh Fort museum houses a great collection of artefacts from this period, including one of only two surviving biplanes used by the British in World War One. If you are interested in military history, you must pay a visit to the fort for an immersive experience.

The National Research Centre on Camel, located on the outskirts of Bikaner, is the only camel research facility of its kind in Asia. Run by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, it is home to several camel breeds and conducts research on camel milk, genetics, and livestock management. Visitors can tour the facility, see different breeds up close, and learn about the camel's role in Rajasthan's economy and culture. There is also a small café on the premises that serves camel milk and camel milk products, including ice cream, which is a novelty most visitors enjoy. It is truly an interesting stop, especially for families and curious travellers.

Yes. An amazing place with lots of opportunities for tour and travels, Bikaner is definitely worth a visit.

Gajner Palace is about 32 km from Bikaner on the banks of Gajner Lake and was once a hunting retreat of Maharaja Ganga Singh. It has since been converted into a heritage hotel and is a beautiful example of red sandstone architecture set against the desert landscape. The surrounding Gajner Wildlife Sanctuary is home to nilgai, chinkara, wild boar, and a variety of migratory birds, particularly in winter when the lake draws large flocks. Even if you are not staying at the palace, the drive out and a walk around the sanctuary is a worthwhile half-day trip from Bikaner. 

Bikaner is one of the largest cities in Rajasthan that are located entirely in the Thar desert. However, if you want to experience the stark beauty of never-ending sands and explore the landscapes of the Thar Desert properly, you must add a Camel Desert Safari to your Bikaner vacation packages.
