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.
