Yesterday, after staying an extra unplanned night in Bikaner in order to take in the Bikaner Camel Festival Parade, we were not disappointed. With both the camels and participants decked out in beautifully ornate and tribal costumes, we were treated to a fairly short but well-worth-the-extra-night parade. Held every January 13–14, the parade and festival bring together locals and tourists to celebrate the ships of the desert.
While in Bikaner we stayed at the Hotel Harasar Haveli, originally the home of the hotel owner’s father and now converted into a very nice hotel. The architecture has all of the beautiful, intricate carving hallmarks of the area’s many havelis.
The rooms were comfortable, the staff was excellent and attentive, the restaurant food was good and the price was right. We would highly recommend this hotel.
theres nothing quite like a shaved camel…and again i say, we need a camel parade here in vancouver…love the fotos
