Along with Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, Bikaner was one of the three great desert kingdoms of Rajasthan and, like them, prospered because of its strategic location on the overland caravan trade route to Central Asia and China. Somewhat overshadowed by the splendours of Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, Bikaner was nevertheless has a great deal to offer visitors, with its old walled town where camels saunter past colourful stalls, its many temples and palaces, and the magnificient Junagarh fort, perhaps the best preserved and most ornately decorated of all the forts in Rajasthan.
