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.
