Bikaner

A desert fort city that most itineraries skip — and shouldn't.

Quick Answer

What is Bikaner known for? Bikaner is less visited than Jaipur or Udaipur, which is exactly its appeal: Junagarh Fort, camel breeding farms, and old-city havelis without the crowds. Twenty minutes outside town, the Karni Mata rat temple is one of India's stranger, more memorable stops.
