Wildlife at Gajner Palace, Fort and Wildlife Sanctuary
Rajasthan Road Trip 25 Days: Day 8 Bikaner, Wildlife at Gajner Palace, Fort and Wildlife Sanctuary
The Journey: Delhi to Jaipur, Ramgarh (Shekhawati), Bikaner, Khichan, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Mt. Abu, Ajmer, Pushkar and back to Delhi.
Getting up later with each passing hectic day, we left the hotel about 1 PM and headed straight for Gajner Palace, Fort and Wildlife Sanctuary. First stop was ‘Khandelwal’ fast food for chola bhatura, lassi and Papdi Chaat, excellent food but no seating. We ate quickly and were on our way by 1:30 PM. It took us a good hour and 15 minutes to get to Gajner Palace hotel at 2:45 PM and it was burning hot in the desert. It took a long time and the drive was particularly unpleasant due to the state of the road, highway NH-11 towards Jaisalmer (we had come in on NH-11 from Jaipur). Roadworks underway for all the 30 Km and lines of trucks to negotiate or overtake on gravel and in the extreme heat. We were regretting our decision to go to Gajner. However once we got there and I had taken a couple of Panadol for head ache, we had a lovely time. We paid Rs.250/- each as day visitors to the Gajner Palace hotel, which includes complimentary tea and biscuits at the dining room or in the courtyard in front of it overlooking the lake and wildlife sanctuary. Later we realized that we could have saved the visitor fee and had biriyani for Rs.500/- instead, at 5 PM when we were hungry again, the visitor fee being waived if you have a meal instead. Nevertheless the tea and biscuits were good and we enjoyed sitting in their palatial dining room and later at the courtyard.
First out they gave us a tour of the Palace, converted into a hotel, including showing us into a few of the guest rooms, Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 10,000 for the garden and lake facing rooms respectively. We were served tea in the dining room, free to take a walk around or be at our own devices, enjoy the extensive grounds, a park and lakeside walk. We could walk outside the hotel on a path and courtyard along the lake for about 600 meters, this is walled in so wild animals do not come inside, but has a great view of the animals roaming the land by the lake and on parts of the lake that had dried up at this time. Excellent view of the façade of the Palace itself overlooking the lake, as the walk curves around the lake for a bit. We spent the afternoon and evening till 7 PM sundown roaming these grounds, taking pictures, chatting, relaxing on the benches, enjoying the shade of many giant trees and a little hill with a temple atop it. We saw blackbuck, other deer, Neel Gai (Indian Blue Buck), lots of wild boar, peacocks, and birds aplenty. It was a peaceful and refreshing time. Later in the evening the hotel organizes Kalbelia Dance and music from 7:30 till 9:00 PM, for dinner guests, usually groups in buses on their way to Bikaner or staying overnight at the Palace. Kalbelia Dance is famous of Rajasthan performed by the Kalbelia nomadic gypsy tribe known for trading in snake venom. The costumes (all black with red thread embroidery) and movements resemble serpents and is a sensuous dance form. The dancers (women) get the ladies on the dance floor and having experienced the excitement of the quick movement, get tipped heavily. The Kalbelia men play music and sing and do not take the floor. There were two groups coming in that night so the dance was on, we enjoyed it till about 8:15 and then departed for Bikaner.
Familiar with the route we made it back by 9:15 PM, but it remained treacherous and unpleasant in pitch darkness. We had dinner at Amberwala, after 9 PM the KEM and MG Roads open to traffic so we could drive up and park next to the restaurant. We had some ‘fast’ food and returned to the hotel. Off towards Jaisalmer tomorrow.

Wildlife around Bikaner (November 2016)
Some clips I took during a wildlife safari around Bikaner (Rajasthan, India) in November 2016. Maybe the most exciting spot was the carcass dump of Jorbeer with several thousand vultures and eagles. In the course of the video, you will see the following species: Nilgai, Indian Gazelles (Chinkara), Griffon Vultures, Cinereous Vultures, more Griffon Vultures, a Steppe Eagle, an Eastern Imperial Eagle, a Steppe Eagle together with a Griffon Vulture, juvenile and adult Egyptian Vultures, a Long-legged Buzzard, a Southern Grey Shrike, an Indian Courser, a Cream-coloured Courser, Isabelline Wheatears, and a Laggar Falcon.
I used my Canon 60D and Sigma 120-400 mm lens. Later on, I did some poor amateur editing with Adobe After Effects.
