Gajner 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.
A
long drive flanking the vast lawns with rows of
trees, fairly big pools and red sandstone quarters
take you to the main building. The great Portico
extends a respectful and dignified welcome to the
visitor. The sculptural art on the pillars
supporting this amazing high- ceilinged Portico,
along with the decorative carving, evokes the
senses. The wide retina of stately staircase lead
you up to the reception which extends a warmth of
hospitality to the visitor.
