Bikaner
Junagarh is protected by a 986-m long sandstone wall with 37 bastions, a moat, and most effectively of all, the forbidding expanse of the Thar Desert.
Bikaner’s Junagarh is perhaps the best preserved and most ornately decorated of all the forts of Rajasthan. The fort has never been conquered, hence its excellent state of preservation.

Lalgarh Palace - The imposing red sandstone palace, on the outskirts of the city was built by Maharaja Ganga Singh. Designed by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, it is a fine blend of oriental facade and occidental interior. A part of the palace has now been converted into a luxury hotel, and another part houses a museum.
Devikund Sagar - The cremation ground of the Bikaner Royal Family.
The Camel Breeding Farm in Bikaner breeds nearly half the camels found in India, including those for the Camel Regiment of the Indian Army.
The Horse Breeding Farm is next to the Camel Breeding Farm, but is not publicized as much. Wonder why… It was real fun visiting the place.
