Bikaner Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

Bikaner Overview

Women in swirling, colourful skirts and men in multi-hued turbans; undulating sand dunes spread over hundreds of miles; marble palaces and rugged forts; caravans of camels; and, cloth puppets – these slices and scenes of Rajasthan seem to have popped out from an artist’s canvas, wooing the traveller with their vibrancy. It is this vibrancy and colour that Bikaner is all about. A lively, historical city in the state of Rajasthan, it offers the discerning traveller all this and more. Visit Bikaner for a generous dose of sightseeing and culture. Sample the typical, spicy Rajasthani cuisine, shop for jewelled trinkets in the local bazaars, and immerse yourself in its history. Founded in 1488 AD by Rao Bikaji, the son of the founder of Jodhpur – Rao Jodhaji, Bikaner was metamorphosed from a principality to a well-known princely state under Maharaja Ganga Singh. Today, Bikaner is known to be the fourth largest city in Rajasthan and is a favourite with tourists.
