Bikaner is the Rajasthan city most itineraries skip, which is precisely why some of our guests love it. Fewer tour buses, a fort in better condition than most, and one of the strangest temples in India an hour away.

Junagarh Fort was never conquered, and unlike the hill forts it sits on flat ground. The interiors are exceptional and far less crowded than Amber or Mehrangarh.
The Karni Mata temple at Deshnoke, thirty kilometres south, is home to thousands of rats, which are revered and fed. You walk barefoot. It is not for everybody and we will say so plainly before you go, but it is unlike anything else you will see.
The National Research Centre on Camels on the edge of town is a working government breeding farm, open in the afternoons.
Five and a half hours from Jaisalmer, five from Jodhpur, and around seven from Delhi. It works best as a stop between Delhi and Jaisalmer rather than a destination on its own.
One night. Half a day covers the fort and the temple comfortably.
November to February. This is deep desert and summer is severe.
Morning at Junagarh Fort, which has never been conquered and has some of the richest painted interiors in Rajasthan. Late morning, drive 30 km south to Deshnoke for the Karni Mata Temple, famous for the thousands of rats that live there and are fed as holy. In the afternoon, visit the camel research centre outside town, then walk the old city lanes past the carved red sandstone Rampuria havelis.
Lalgarh Palace and other heritage hotels give you the royal feel. Smaller haveli hotels in the old city are better if you want to walk out into the bazaar.
Yes, on a longer Rajasthan trip. It is much less visited than Jodhpur or Jaipur, and Junagarh Fort is one of the best-kept forts in the state.
No. Some guests love it, others prefer to stay outside. It is your choice.
About 330 km from Jaisalmer, five to six hours. About 330 km from Jaipur, roughly six hours, or less if you break the drive in Shekhawati.
