Bikaner Tourism
Founded in 1486 AD by the Rathore prince, Rao Bikaji, hence the name Bikaner,
the city is another worth-watching destination in the royal land of Rajasthan.
Surrounded by a seven-kilometres wall with five entrances that was built primarily to protect the city from vagaries of the desert and any external aggression, the city has many magnificent buildings.
Bikaner is known for good breed of riding camels, which are among the best in the world.
The Camel Festival held every year is famous all over the globe. Here you can see many buildings made of Reddish Pink sandstone that transcends the surrounding barren wilderness. Unlike other cities of Rajasthan, Bikaner has been able to retain its conventional aura of the medieval era.
