Some More pictures from the Junagarh Fort...

Pictures from a corridor...

Rahul getting lost in the Old World..

One of the best part of the fort is the Armory Section

That's an old Machine Gun
Shields. Each must be weighing couple of kilos.
Daggers?? I guess so
Ok... HUGE gun. I wonder who would fire it!!

Some more from the Armory Section....

This is a real plane shot down by the Britishers & was gifted to the King (Don't remember which one) as a show piece

Medal of Honors







After spending quite a lot time at Junagarh (I wanted to spend more but our Titanic was threatening to get himself drowned) we went to see the Lalgarh Palace. It's the palace where the royals shifted from Junagarh, most of which is now a Hotel. Unfortumately, it was closed for visitor that day.

In the evening we decided to do some NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY of the Junagarh Fort
Results were far from expectations


Can't expect more from a point & shoot camera.

no views??

Awesome buddy

Continuing on trhe night of 23rd Dec 2012...

Me & Sandeep went out to take some night shots of the Junagarh Fort. After coming back we had nice dinner at the hotel & sat by the fire for few minutes... I haven't seen such a clear sky in city. I have experienced this only during my tour to the hills. What a brilliant sight it was...



24 Dec 2012
We had a small discussion last night as where to visit the next morning. In out itenary was Gajner Palace. It's around 35-40 kms away from Bikaner main city. Gajner used to be the hunting lodge for the king. It's now being converted into a hotel. It has a private sanctuary of it's own where the earstwhile Maharajas used to go for hunting. I believe at one point of time there would have been Tigers & Lions too as we saw two life sized Cats on display at Ganga Singhji Museum.

At Gajner Palace, one can buy a Rs 250 bucks ticket which would enable the visitor to have a cup of coffee or tea inside the hotel premise. One can also buy ticket for Rs2500 for visiting the Gajner Sanctuary in a jeep. Now, it doesn't matter if you are alone or 5 people. The Jeep Trip inside the Gajner Reserve would cost you Rs 2500 & would last 1 & half hour.
It's our first sanctuary trip & we were quite excited. To say that our excitement was rewarded well would be a good statement because we were able to spot Jackals, Deers, Black Buck, Grouse bird, Blue Bull, Rabits & many birds. The Jeep trip in itself is quite an adventure as it truly one off-road experience....

more pics of the Gajner Sanctuary & Palace...

The driver had very brilliant eyesight & he was able to spot the animals from far off. The Grouse bird usually sits on the ground. Nature has provided with them some fantastic camaflouge. They simply vanish among the surrounding stones & the ground & from a distance of even 10-15 metres you won't be able to distinguish whether those are birds or stones....

Please dont mind.. Not trying to criticize ...but the place where you have placed the petrol can is very dangerous...as in case of a crash , the petrol will splash on the engine and exhaust and will result in a deadly fire. Please take care buddy.

Other pis are great. Its a great Tour for sure.

Respect Sandeep Kumar!!...Wonderful Clicks!!...

Re: DRS to Bikaner, the land of forts, desrts & adventure.

request every1. never carry petrol near the leg as shown in the pic..it can be dangerous. The pipe which goes through to the engine, whilst touching the can, can become hot and lead to fire
