Essential Attractions Covered in Your Bikaner Same Day Tour
Junagarh Fort: The Crown Jewel of Bikaner
No Bikaner sightseeing tour is ever complete without a visit to Junagarh Fort. This mighty fort is a tribute to Bikaner’s wealth during the reign of the sixth ruler, Raja Rai Singh. We see today’s Junagarh Fort as what was originally named Chintamani Mahal. As one of the very few great forts in Rajasthan that no one ever conquered, it served as an important royal residence.
Visitor Information:

- Experts offer guided tours, and we highly recommend them to fully appreciate the fort’s history and architecture.
The fort contains a number of palaces, each built in its own unique style and era. The stone carvings, vibrant paintings, and decorative detail provide for a delightful surprise for photographers.

Around 30 kilometers from Bikaner lies the notable Karni Mata Temple, which gives visitors one of the most unique religious experiences in India. This temple is devoted to Karni Mata, and within the temple thousands of rats are considered sacred by devotees.
