Description:
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. |
