Junagarh Fort, Bikaner (Rajasthan)

One of the most famous attractions of the city, the Junagarh Fort in Bikaner is a massive fort right in the heart of the city. Earlier referred to as Chintamani, the  Junagarh Fort was renamed in the 20th century. The new parts of the city was built around this fort, nearly 1.5 kms away from the city center. The fort is home to several temples, pavilions and palaces, covering an area of 5.28 hectares. The major temples inside the fort include the Ratan Behari Temple and the Har Mandir Temple. The palaces inside the fort include Karan Mahal, Anup Mahal, Ganga Mahal, Phool Mahal, Badal Mahal and Chandra Mahal. There are also a few Bikaneri Havelies within as well as outside the fort, which are worth a look. The famed Junagarh Fort Museum is also a must visit when here, to take a look at the history of the city.

History of Junagarh Fort

Junagarh Fort was built between 1588-1593 AD by Raja Rai Singh and the fort complex was made under the guidance of his prime minister, Karan Chand. Earlier the fort was named Chintamani and later it was renamed to Junagarh which means old fort. The fort has witnessed many invasions and still stands strong. The modern city of Bikaner is developed around this fort.

Architecture of Junagarh Fort

Junagarh Forts is one of few forts in Rajasthan which is not built on the hilltop. The fort is spread in an area of about 5.28 hectares and has beautiful palaces built with white marble and red sandstones, temples, and pavilions. The fort has a mixed style of architecture depicting various cultures and traditions. There are around 37 palaces in the fort with beautiful courtyards and balconies which are adorned with traditional style paintings and artworks.

Junagarh Fort Attractions

There are two grand and main gates of the fort which are Suraj Pol and Daulat Pol. Daulat Pol is unique in the sense as it has handprints of the women who have undergone Sati during that time. One can also witness the mirror work, lacquer work and stunning paintings of the Indian art and also of the previous rulers of Mewar. Other striking places within the fort include Badal Mahal, Chandra Mahal, Anup Mahal, Phool Mahal, Har Mandir, and Prachina Museum. The museum has exhibits that showcase the grandeur of Indian rulers and kings like the artifacts, jewelry, weapons, carpets, costumes, manuscripts, and various other things.

It is a top favorite among historians and architectural enthusiasts, due to its mix of architectural styles and the use of beautiful red sandstone. The location of Junagarh Fort is another major attractant for tourists since it rests on the arid Thar Desert, bordered by the Aravalli Mountain Range in the background. Make sure to visit this place at least once when here.

    Rahul's 2 days trip to Bikaner

    Himani and Shailendra helped us in planning this travel of Jaipur, Ajmer, Pushkar, Jaisalmer. They did a fantastic job in providing a good clean and spacious car as requested. Out of the 2 nights of stay, Hotel for the first night wasn't that good although the food was okay. For the second night,
    stay in the tent was really good but the food wasnt that great both breakfast as well as dinner. Desert safari and camel ride

    Swapnil's 4 days trip to Bikaner

    Tripsailer helped us from start to end with all the planning and helped to make sure that my trip went without any hiccups. They also called in between to check on us, which was really good. The hotel that they gave in Jaipur was great, the hospitality, food and room everything was upto the standard
    s. However, the hotel they gave us in Udaipur was not that great. The washroom door had mould on it; it was not clean. The breakfast was average. The driver they provided was good; he did show us around, but he was going off track with the planned itinerary and was going to other places that were not in the itinerary. Apart from these few points, the trip went perfectly well. We enjoyed it a lot, and we would choose Tripsailer again for our future trips.

    Rajasthan Trip 17 Jan to 23 Jan 2029 We reached Ahemadabad from Pune and We have started our Journey from Ahemadabad airport. I have requested for non CNG vehicle due to luggage carriers restrictions in Rajasthan they told me they will arrange Etios for whole journey. Surprisingly back2holiday arran
    ged Inova Crysta for one way journey from Ahemadabad to Udaipur in same comitted value. On day 1 we have got 2nd surprise that our complete journey driver was not able to reach udaipur due to some reasons but they already made plan B for the same, That's the capability they have and vehicle given was ertiga. In Udaipur we have booked Hotel Palash regency for two nights, It is avery good hotel and breakfast quality was also good. Back2holiday has covered all the sightseeing in your package but due to time constraints you will not able to visit all the places, I missed out Bagur ki haveli and Jagmandir. Places we manged to visit in two days Fateh Sagar Lake, Aquarium, Wax museam Saheliyo ki bari, Vintage car museum, City palace, Karni mata temple, Sajjangad and Jagdish temple. Driver suggested hotel for lunch and dinner as below Day 1 Shri Krishna Dal bati Day 2 56 Bhog In Udaipur driver taken us to local market where they don't bargain one jacket we purchased at 700 same jacket was available at 300 Gadi sar lake. 3rd day We started our journey towards Jaisalmer it was arround 600 kms from Udaipur that day we missed out night show of Gadisar lake and we directly reached Hotel Swan Haveli, This hotel is one of the worst hotel of all my hotel selection in this trip. We traveled 13 hrs and we wanted to take a rest after dinner but here surprise come, Their chef was on leave hence the restaurant was not taking order, Driver left us and went to guest house for rest. We need to take 15 mins walk for dinner. Day 4 Morning breakfast time was 8 am, But they started breakfast when we reach rooftop restaurant. Quality was average and options were limited to poha, alu paratha and breads. Then we visited Jaisalmer Fort, Driver suggested to take guide and we agreed. He helped us with history and sightseeing. Later he takes us to Hat bazar, we purchased one maharani saree at cost 1250 later same saree we found at 400 at Pushkar lake. We visited gadi sar lake after hat bazar. We skipped to visit Bada bagh and Jain Temple while traveling towards Dunes. Then we continued our journey towards Sam Sand dunes, we booked Juma camp for Jaisalmer 2nd day stay, Camp food and night cultural program was wonderful. Shailendra from back2holiday arranged a Desert safari in Thar at reasonal cost. We enjoyed Camel ride, ATV ride and sunset at Dunes. It was a wonderful evening. Day 5 Early morning we started journey towards Jodhpur, As per drivers plan we visited Jaisalmer war museum. In Jodhpur we visited a Jasvant Thada and Fort, Merangad Fort was supposed to close entry by 5 pm so quickly we visited jaswant thada. Later driver dropped us to hotel Kuchman Haveli. Then we took a auto a visited Ghanta Ghar, Janta sweets and Toorji ka kalra at our own cost of auto. Hotel and food quality was good. In Jodhpur we missed Mandore Garden due non availability of time. Day 6 Morning we visited Umaid Bhavan Palace and we started journey towards Pushkar, and visited a one and only Brahma Mandir in world. For night stay we reached Jaipur in Hotel Golden manor, Hotel was good but food quality was poor. I got terrible experience at restaurant. We ordered a Dal Khichadi for baby but there was Burning smell to it. Decided not eat and went to nearby outside hotel suggested by driver. Golden manor hotel is veg non veg restaurant. Day 7 It was raining in Jaipur. By the time we reach Amer fort rain stopped. We skipped Jaigarh fort as suggested by driver and visited Nahargar fort. Later we took lunch and visited a City palace, Jantar mantar, Hawa Mahal, Albert hall and Birla temple. Then driver dropped us to Jaipur airport. This all regarding my Rajasthan Trip, I thank to Trip Planner Ms. Priti Sharma to make it in my budget and making good arrangements. Tour manager Shailendra also in touch during all 7 day journey, I thank him also. Driver was good didn't exceed a speed limit of 80 km/hr in any cases which makes us our journey comfortable and safe. I traveled with my parents and our 2 yr old child. Etios car was old, Can arrange a good quality car is my suggestion. Jaisalmer Juma Camp and Sam Sand Dunes evening time.
