Destination

Gajner

Amidst the Barren Wilds

Picture this. You’re in the middle of nowhere. A majestic palace — once the hunting place of the maharajas — stands tall in the distance, a reflection of perfection at the centre of a glistening lake. Across it, roaming free are wild fauna, from the chinkara to the almost spiritually revered blackbuck. This is Gajner, a real treat for your senses. The heritage accommodation you’re at has planted you in the midst of a dream, replete with royal treatment, the ultimate rural living experience, not too ostentatious but true to its roots….you’re in a different world altogether. And if you need a sense of civilization somewhere during your stay, take a day trip to bustling Bikaner, before returning to the great desert outdoors.
