Palace is an incomparable "Jewel in the Thar Desert"
built on the embankment of a lake by His Late Highness Maharaja
Ganga Singhji of Bikaner. During winter even now, this palace
with its beautiful
lake and surrounded wooded areas become the home of different
species of migratory birds, most renowned amongst them being the
Imperial Sand Grouse. Endangered antelopes like Black Bucks,
Nilgais, Chinkaras and other animals like the Wild Boar roam
freely in this area which is now a preserved sanctuary. There
are 10 historic suites and 28 well appointed rooms open to
travellers. Authentic game recipes have been adapted to create
"Shikari" dishes out of chicken and mutton. One can
experience the true romance of the desert in the comfort of
Gajner Palace.
