Roads are adventurous too: A trip to Rajasthan-1

Traveling to a new place is always exciting but traveling to a place in a new way is adventurous too. This time it was a Road Trip to Rajasthan. As Rajasthan is very large I decided to make it in parts. This time its about exploring the Bikaner and nearby area on a bike.

Bike Ride starts from Delhi. There are various way to reach Bikaner by bike so here is one of the route which give you a better experience of bike ride or a road trip.
Ride towards Gurugram then Rewari,but before that I decided to have a fantastic breakfast at old rao hotel on the highway. The best part of that Dhaba is the "quantity of Chai" and the real butter with Paratha which we easily dont get in the metro city. The best time to start trip is early in the morning so that weather will be better and gives a awesome experience. Distance between Delhi to Bikaner is approx 460 km. so it will take approximately 8 hours to reach there . Narnaul,Chirawa,Mandawa Fatehpur and Ratangarh . This is one of the best route for road trip to bikaner.
In between this road trip one should take 4-5 stops to get body relax and mind fresh, which was also the small snacks and desi dish try time for me. There are lots of 'Dhabas' in between the route where one can stop and enjoy the tea and snacks. finally after covering the distance of 500 km I reached to Bikaner.
There are various places in Rajasthan where you can see the culture and heritage , one of them is Bikaner. Bikaner is a city with east of the border with Pakistan. It's surrounded by the Thar Desert. The city is known for the 16th-century Junagarh Fort, a huge complex of ornate buildings and halls. There are various things to do and places to visit in Bikaner which will give you an amazing experience of Rajasthan's Culture and mirror to the heritage. Bikaner has so many hotels, Deserts area and Religious places to fulfill the once requirements.

Places To Visit In Bikaner And Nearby Area :

I tried to make a list of some of the best places in and near to Bikaner which are the combination of everything a traveler needs. 

1. JUNAGARH FORT

Junagarh fort is one of the most famous place and the identity of the city. This fort was built between 1589 to 1593 by Raja Rai Singh, Ruler of Bikaner. This fort is the reflection of 16th Century and a connection between modern and Heritage. The Museum inside the fort is worth watching .
The entry charge for the Junagarh fort is 50/- Indian rupees , its a private property still but open for public visit.

2. LAXMI NIWAS PALACE & LALGARH FORT

Laxmi niwas and Lalgarh palace is a place for luxurious stay experience. Lalgarh palace built for Sir Ganga singh, Maharaja of Bikaner , between 1902 to 1926. These places are the best for comfortable Family vacation and to experience Rajasthan's culture in luxurious way.

3. DEVI KUND SAGAR 

Devi kund or Devikund sagar is located at 8 km distance from the Bikaner city. Devikund is known for the beautiful "Chattris" made by white marbels and red sand stone. There is also a pond near Devikund sagar which is full of lotus. Its a beautiful and peaceful place where you can spend  time with friends and Family or you can sit alone for hours without any distraction, just the sound of wind.

4. DESHNOKE KARNI MATA TEMPLE

Karni mata temple at Deshnoke is a Hindu temple and is very popular in country as well as in foreign. It is approx 30 km from the Bikaner city. The main reason for this fame is the Rats inside the temple. there are thousands of Rats in the temple so this temple is also known as 'The Rat Temple'.

5. DESERT LADERA VILLEGE


Ladera villege is 30 km from Bikaner city. If you are in somewhere in Rajasthan then Deserts are the most important part which gives you real feeling to be in the Rajasthan . So I decided to explore the desert nearby also. Ladera Villege will give you real pleasure of Desert and Desert safari.


Things to remember during bike Road Trip:-
1. Service your bike before the road trip.
2. Try to start the trip early in the morning.
3. Have some water bottle fill with drinking water.
4. Don't ride too fast, always enjoy your ride.
5. Don't take heavy bags with you, if required fix career with your bike on very long trips.
6. Wear comfortable clothes during bike trip, not so tight.
7. Seat of you bike should be comfortable otherwise all your way you'll feel uncomfortable.

So it was a different experience to be there . Over all riding on the highways on those roads will fill you with some energy . It is a must go road trip for travel lovers and bikers.
