Travel Blogs from Bikaner, India
Our Camels, Beansy and Clyde
This is a top pick! ... wake Sarah or I up for very long after we got our room. Waking up later that morning was much more pleasant. Bikaner was defitely the less touristed desert counterpart to Jaisalmer. Like almost every city in Rajasthan it had a palace and fort, and ...
Feelin' Hot, Hot ,Hot!!!!
This is a top pick! ... 6.05. I had obviously slept soundly on the overnight bus from the steaming plains of the Punjab to the (hopefully!) drier heat of Bikaner in Rajasthan... I knew that I was heading for a desert region but I still did a double-take as I looked through the ...
Marvelous chai!
This is a top pick! ... everything you read, but they are guidebooks. I thought it might be different, perhaps even quiet. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Yeah, sure, Bikaner wasn't touristy at all really, but what it was, was filthy dirty and very, very busy. I suppose it was a ...
The Golden Triangle and Rajasthan, India
This is a top pick! ... . The most amazing part was that the bathroom had running water and even a flush toilet! Our last stop in Rajasthan was Bikaner, a place we had been excited about going to long before we arrived in India. The reason was the Karni Mata Temple, ...
The Fairly Great Thar Desert
This is a top pick! ... , in my opinion, is wildly, but impressively, optimistic. Maybe if they train the rats to poo in little rat-sized toilets... DETAILS Bikaner -Shri Ram Hotel: 200-900 Rs/double; run by a really nice family, but the food is kind of pricey -Cool ...
New Year Revelry?
This is a top pick! ... an ornate pearl and jewel encrusted chain, brightly coloured saris with gold thread and other jewellery - simply stunning... Back in Bikaner there were more temples to be seen,but they were a disappointment, what was much more interesting was the ...
Mandawa, Bikaner and camel trekking
This is a top pick! ... with a flaming man ridding it, impressive! Very noisy night as celebrations for Ghandi's birthday went on until dawn! Next stop Bikaner where we booked a day and night in the desert Camel trekking Not sure I realised how huge Camels are!! Not that ...
The Wild West - Bikaner Part I
This is a top pick! ... at one time once opulent but it regal lay crumbling through age and neglect, endemic of much of India former glory. Being a border town Bikaner had a real edge, the streets are filled with traders, travellers, smugglers and shady characters (don't ...
Bikaner: desert city and camel safari
This is a top pick! ... modern families get the luxury of choosing their own partners, though this is often regarded as a bad, Western thing. Nearby Bikaner lies one of India's weidest temples. In the village of Deshnok, a 30-minute bus ride south of town, in the Karni Mata ...
Bikaner
This is a top pick! ... of on our little camel journey with Rikard and our guide Ali. First stop was the bizzare Deshnok Temple, about 30km south of bikaner. There is a strange legend which concludes that the rats in this temple are holy, worthy of worship and to take prasad ...
The Rat Temple
This is a top pick! Thirty kilometres south of Bikaner is the town of Deshnok. Here is the temple of Karni Mata, or as it's commonly known, the "Rat Temple". After a 45 minute ride wedged into a local bus, we arrived at the town. This was, unquestioningly, MY trip to ...
No rats just punctures!
This is a top pick! ... are seperated by long stretches of 'nothing' ie just desert road for as far as the eye can see.(see photo). We arrive in Bikaner mid afternoon despite our puncture and settle in to our hotel, again quite a good one (by Indian standards). It has a high ...
Temple of the Sacred Rats
This is a top pick! ... in good nature, though we made a quick exit as soon as I'd my boots back on. Desnok was only a stop on the way to Bikaner, where we'd stay for the night. Bikaner was lovely, and our hotel had a fantastic rooftop view over the whole town, including the ...
Camel Trek and Rat Temple
This is a top pick! BIKANER After a good night's sleep in one of Mandawa's haveli-hotels, we headed to Bikaner. We arrived around noon, saw Junagarh Fort and a Hindu temple, had lunch, and then did what we came to Bikaner to do: a camel trek. After being driven a ...
Another day, another flat tire
This is a top pick! ... DRIVER IS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION BEFORE SETTING OUT . Can this trip get any worse? After ~12 hrs of driving from Delhi to Bikaner, we finally arrived to our hotel. Again, no hot water. In the morning, we tried to forget about yesterday. We set out ...
Trip back from the Safari
This is a top pick! It was really cold when we woke up this morning. We had toast with jam (a common item for breakfast in India) and bananas and oranges. Then we packed up and headed for a village. The children in this village loved to have their pictures taken and we have ...
Squeak Squeak
This is a top pick! ... we were foreign and they were getting off at the next stop. And they were curious and wanted to talk to us. Back in Bikaner we did pretty much nothing. Watched a movie on HBO (yay for English TV). Found a grocery store - first one in ...
The Rat Temple and Road Kill
This is a top pick! ... wash our feet, raced--at an alarmingly slow rate--home. Nothing builds an appetite like roadkill and rat poop, so we went back to a street vendor for the best Masala Dosas in India and got ready for one of the worst bus ride in ...
Rats
This is a top pick! ... only take so much road kill, so we found a side door and exited without much notice Fort Junagarh This being the premier attraction of Bikaner, we had to see it, so as soon as the tickets were available to be sold, we bought ours, and with this ...
We were Scammed Officer!
This is a top pick! ... its best I think you'll agree! Staying at Hotel Jaie! Not bad! Tuesday 4th Feb Left about half 8 for Bikaner. Stopped at Junagarh fort, constructed in 16th Century. Impressive, almost intimidating fortress, though the accompanying museum was dire, ...
Camel Safari
This is a top pick! ... in India, Jaisalmer camels that are lighter in color and taller. They also have a little bit different look to therir faces. Bikaner camels are very dark, almost black and they seem smaller and have really big eyelashes and fur on their eye lids. Gujarat ...
Rats, Camels and Chai Tea
... ." After more chai tea, we packed back into the car and were headed further west and deeper into Rajasthan to the city of Bikaner. We stopped for some cheap Indian grub on the way at a restaurant infested with blackflies (though the meal was excellent!) ...
And here comes Rajastan...
... looked near death and I give them until christmas before they have to downgrade to the 'temple of pigeons'. Headed back to Bikaner where I treated myself to a (very expensive) beer and an ice cream, then jumped on a rickshaw to a camel research centre. ...
havalis and the rajasthani desert
... everywhere without people shreiking in fear. I didn't last long, and had to duck out of the line waiting to pray because I just couldn't handle it (the plague, hauntas virus, etc) but was glad I went!! Bikaner has an old fort. See ...
Bikaner by Bloody Bastard Bus
... face. Those girls on Bridezilla (US reality wedding show) don't know what a bad wedding is. I arrived in one piece in Bikaner in the morning, stumbled off the bus into a crowd of rickshawwallahs, salivating at the opportunity to make a commission of ...
Of crowds and camels
... time. Outside the gate we were relieved to find the Garden Café, where Sunil, a self-appointed travellers’ ambassador for Bikaner, explained that this day was the festival of Ganguar, in which statues of the Maharajah (which would be brought out ...
Ab in die Wüste
Nachdem wir Wohlauf von Deshnok nach Bikaner gekommen sind, wartete schon das nächste Abenteuer auf uns. Bikaner ist eine, im Norden von Rajastan gelegene Wüstenstadt. Die niedrigen Gebäude mit kleinen Terrassen auf den Dächern, erinnern noch sehr an ...
flashpacking
... out of her mind a couple times. Well it will be my period of reflection I think... Im off to the Rat temple tonight! I am in Bikaner for 2 nights and than Jaisalmer. I will do a one night camel safari and than I go to Jodhpur, Rankapur, Udaipur, Pushkar, ...
Camel Safari
This entry is all about camels and desert. We went on a two night camel trek, leaving from the town of Bikaner. Our guide recommended that we get a camel cart for our luggage and that would also allow Rajiv and I to trade off riding the camel. ...
