Bikaner is a place for those who wish to avoid the hurly burly Jaiselmer and Jodhpur. It is located in the Bikaner district in Rajasthan and is about 251kms far from Jodhpur.

Foreign tourists like Bikaner for its rustic feel and serenity. The desert dust, camel safaris and the grand royal mansions, everything is out and out an attraction in Bikaner. Another feature that makes a good attention grabber is the Camel Fair in the months of December and January. Karni Mata Temple, where devotees worship the rats and those who are merely visitors amuse themself with the site of hundreds of rats loitering in the temple complex.

Bikaner is quite a thing and it deserves to be visited at least once in a lifetime.

Best time to Visit

The peak tourist season is from October to March when the weather is pleasant and quite cooler than rest of the year.
