4- and 5-star hotels in Bikaner
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Bikaner, the desert city of Junagarh Fort and Lalgarh Palace. It is for travellers deciding between a heritage palace, a quiet guesthouse or a resort on the edge of the city, and who want the ratings and facilities in front of them.
Staying in Bikaner
Bikaner is a walled desert city in Rajasthan, known for Junagarh Fort, Lalgarh Palace, the National Research Centre on Camel and its bhujia snack. Visitors come for Usta art, camel-hide crafts and the old city bazaars, and the Camel Festival in January draws crowds for its races, dances and competitions. The walled old city around Kote Gate is the historic core, close to the fort and the main bazaars.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in different parts of that landscape. Several addresses are in the old city and along Station Road, convenient for the fort, the bazaars and arrivals at Bikaner Junction. Others are further out: on Ganganagar Road by the Lallgarh Palace complex, on Dr. Karni Singhji Road, in Karni Nagar, and at the 10th mile stone of the Jaipur-Bikaner Highway, with camps and resorts well beyond the centre. The mix suits couples and families who want a heritage setting, business travellers who need a central address, and short-break visitors who would rather be near the fort than on the highway.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Bikaner is well connected by rail, with direct trains from Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Gurugram; Bikaner Junction is the main station and Lalgarh Junction serves some trains. By road it is about 330 km from Jaipur and 250 km from Jodhpur on national highways, and about 400 km from Gurugram, around 7 to 8 hours by train. The nearest airport is Nal Airport, about 15 km from the city, with limited flights, so most visitors fly into Jaipur or Delhi and continue by train or car. Within Bikaner, auto-rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws are the main way around the old city, while taxis and app-based cabs cover longer trips.
When to go
October to March is the best time to visit, when daytime temperatures are mild and the desert nights are cool. The Camel Festival in January is a major event with camel races, dances and competitions. Summer, from April to June, is extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, and the monsoon months of July to September bring occasional rain but high humidity. Winter mornings can be foggy, but the weather is generally pleasant for sightseeing.
