HOTEL
GAJNER PALACE
Gajner Palace, an
incomparable jewel in the Thar Desert is built on the embankment of
a lake. Built by H.H. Maharaja Sir Ganga Singhji of Bikaner, this
Grand Heritage property is spread over 6000 acres. Gajner Palace was
used as a hunting resort by the former Maharajas and visiting
British dignitaries during the days of the Raj. During the reign of
Maharaja Ganga Singhji, this palace was used for grand shoots and
lavish entertainment. Christmas season was often celebrated with
prearranged duck and Imperial Sand Grouse shoots. Royalty, both,
National and International, Viceroys and other dignitaries were
invited on this grand occasion.
The Palace now has a private wildlife sanctuary, which is home to
endangered antelopes like the chinkara, black buck, neelgai and
other animals. During winter months, the lake becomes home to more
than a hundred species of migratory birds, including the Imperial
Sand Grouse.
While at Gajner
Palace, one can see the photographs of the days of the Raj which
have been meticulously arranged in the corridors. Each suite has
been carefully restored to its original grandeur; right from the
furniture to the wall paper, every little detail has been recreated.
During the stay at
Gajner Palace, one should try a camel, horse or a jeep safari into
the wildlife sanctuary. The wildlife is plentiful and the best time
for the safari is the early morning or the evenings when the
wildlife flocks to the lake to drink water.
