Gajner
Palace of Rajasthan is situated near the city of Bikaner. Built by
Maharaja Ganga Singh Ji of Bikaner, the palace sprawls over an area of
6000 hectares. Often described as 'an incomparable jewel in the Thar
desert', Gajner Palace was built as the summer resort of the Maharajas
of Bikaner. Standing on the embankment of a lake, the palace presents a
picturesque sight. This red sandstone monument is adorned with
exquisitely carved pillars, jharokhas and screens. The wooded area
around the palace has been converted into a sanctuary. Chinkaras,
Blackbucks, Blue bull (Neelgai) and flocks of imperial sand grouse have
found a home in this sanctuary.
The Gajner Palace has now been converted into a heritage hotel. Gajner
Palace Heritage Hotel, near Jodhpur, counts amongst the premier hotels
of Gajner. All the guest rooms of the Palace Hotel are lake facing and
provide an enthralling view of the lake. Balancing modernity with
traditions, Gajner Place Hotel of Rajasthan takes you back to the royal
bygone era. It is also a bird watcher's paradise, along with being an
ideal place to watch Chinkaras, Blackbucks, Blue bull, etc.
