During the day, you may go around this small rural town of Rajasthan which is painted with stories of opulent Marwari merchants, the Seths!

After your morning tea, enjoy nature walk in the sanctuary. You will see the best congregation of Black Bucks, in Taal Chhaapar Wildlife Sanctuary. The photographer in you would be delighted to see and capture the beauty of the fauna of the sanctuary which is like a huge flat of a table top. A leisurely, sumptuous breakfast onboard Taurus will relax you after the walk and give you more time to absorb the whole experience. We then start our almost three hours of drive to Bikaner, one of the oldest cities of Rajasthan with a very rich history and culture, is famous not just for Bikaneri sweets and snacks, but also the majestic architecture and landscape.

We try our best to give our travellers an out-of-the-box experience and anchor Taurus outside the city limits.

Visit the monuments of Bikaner 

After breakfast onboard Taurus, we travel in a hired transport to explore Bikaner .

The grandeur of Bikaner will enchant you with its dazzling monuments and havelis that take you back in time to the splendour of the past and enrich the present times with the cultural heritage of the city. The city is known for the 16th-century Junagarh Fort, a huge complex of ornate buildings and halls. The Prachin Museum within the Fort, gives an insight into the traditional textiles and royal portraits. Bikaner is also known for its leather articles and handicrafts.

We may also visit Lalgarh, if the travellers are keen. And night-stay is as always, onboard TAURUS on the outskirts of the ever beautiful Bikaner!

OPTIONAL: If you wish to visit Karni Mata Temple, Deshnok about 35 kms from Bikaner, we can organise transport, on extra payment.

Karni Mata Temple (also known as Rat Temple), which is a unique experience in itself. The temple is famous for the approximately 25,000 black rats that live in the temple and are revered by members of the Charan community of Rajasthan. These holy rats, called “kabbas” (little children), are fed grains, milk, and coconuts shells from large bowls. People throng this temple in large numbers for all over the world to pay their obeisance. Consuming the leftover from the rats’ drink and food is considered holy, and is said to bring good fortune.

Journey back home

Our morning tea tradition is never missed on TAURUS. We serve you a healthy spread of breakfast with many options. After a photo session with TAURUS, it’s time to part from TAURUS, but with memories that will last a lifetime and an experience that can match to no other holiday!
