Gorgeous Gajner

Located approximately 30 kilometers west of Bikaner (in Rajasthan), Gajner is a tiny oasis in the Thar desert. Filled with blackbuck, chinkara, neelgai, wildboar and fox, it was once the private hunting reserve of the maharaja of Bikaner. A palace was originally built here on the banks of a manmade lake in the mid-eighteenth century, but it was only in the early nineteenth
century, about a hundred and seventy years later, that the astute Maharaja Ganga Singh converted it into a modern, luxurious resort .
Known as the Gajner Palace, this gorgeous heritage hotel is a flamingo-pink sandstone palace with jharokas, jaalis, and cupolas carved to a fragile filigree - a classic Rajput pleasure palace designed by a British knight. A secluded retreat in which to enjoy a luxurious holiday and be pampered like royalty!
Located four and a half hours by road from Jaipur(which is also the nearest airport), Gajner is also connected by rail.. The nearest railhead is Bikaner and Gajner Palace organises a pick up for its guests from the railway station - 36 kms from the hotel.
For those interested in experiencing the ambience of this desert region, a new metre gauge Heritage on Wheels luxury train by the Rajasthani State Tourism Corporation now takes in the areas of Bikaner and Shekhawati. For the wildlife enthusiast, the hotel organises jeep safaris into the reserve and a variety of excursions to other places to cater to every taste.
