Best experiences
Discover hidden gems in the old town
Head to the backstreets of Bikaner's Old Town, passing grand Rampuria Havelis, visiting its lively spice market and impressive Jain temple.
Explore the impressive Fort of Bikaner
The palaces within the fort, also known as Junagarh Fort, have a series of impressive courtyards, balconies, towers and terraces and the interiors are still very well-preserved in both paintings and carvings.
Visit the rat temple
Put some time aside for a quick visit to the Karni Mata shrine, better known as the Rat Temple due to the thousands of 'holy' rats that seem to call it home! Unlike much of the rest of the world, here the rats are fed and worshipped, with people believing them to be reincarnations of the ancestors of the goddess Karni Mata.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
