Bikaner, in the heart of Rajasthan’s Thar Desert, is a fortress city of stone walls, camel heritage, and desert murals. It combines royal legacy with the starkness of sand and sun.
The Junagarh Fort, with its palaces, courtyards, mosaics, and frescoes, anchors Bikaner’s old city. Step inside to find ornate rooms, carved stone, and solar-terrace views over rooftops and desert. Outside the walls, narrow alleys wind toward markets famous for camel leather goods, camel milk sweets, and desert crafts.
Desert edges frame the city — dunes lie not far, and camel trails echo old trade routes. Light skims sand and bricks in early morning and dusk, casting elongated shadows and warmth by sunset.
With Atlas Tours, your Bikaner segment is well-paced — fort visit, local market walk, optional desert ride, heritage lodging, and transition into wider Rajasthan. Whether your draw is stone heritage or desert life, Bikaner imbues Rajasthan’s desert heart with character and narrative.
