Description
Hi, I'm Rinku, I'm 34 years old, my family and me are operating a guest house in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Name "Jamna Villash"
" Our culture says welcome to our country".
We offer short-term and long-term stays for travelers and volunteers, who are looking for an authentic Indian as wel as Rajasthani culture experience. We love to meet and makes new friends from all around the world and I hope to introduce my lovely city to you.
Bikaner is a city in the North Indian state of Rajasthan, east of the border with Pakistan. It's surrounded by the Thar Desert, The city is known for its rich cultural heritage and historical monuments.
Bikaner was founded in 1488 by Rathod Prince Rao Bikaji. Established: 1488; 535 years ago, Area: 270 km², Total geographical area 30,247.90 square kilometers, Weather: 31°C, Wind E at 5 km/h, 29% Humidity, very little rainfall here.
My guest house in Bikaner is situated in the center of the city, very near to the main Railway station and Bus station. Many famous and interesting sights are within 5 to10 minutes walking distance, e.g. Junagarh Fort, the beautiful Old City, and the local spice market, Temples my nearby city of "Deshnoke" you can visit the Temple of Rats, as well as the world's largest camel research and breeding center.
Due to "Rasgullas", the name of Bikaner is famous not only in the country but also abroad.
After your explorations you can relax on our newly-renovated rooftop lounge - a great place to view the city and stars. Bikaner is a colorful, non-touristic city with lots of history and lots to see; our guesthouse will give you a good home to explore from!
We also run a camel safari tour just outside of Bikaner, and Jaisalmer, also have second guesthouse in the golden city of Jaisalmer. Both of these excursions offer another unique way to further experience the beautiful Rajasthan desert landscapes.
Bikaner is well connected by railway and bus to a number of popular Indian cities. We want to make sure you not only have a good time with us in Bikaner, but also a good travelling experience to and from our guesthouse. Let us know what your travel plans are and we will be happy to assist you.
I hope to meet you, hear of your travelling stories, and to exchange our different cultural experiences!
