Drive to the Thar Desert and to the historic city of Bikaner in northeastern Rajasthan. Established by Rao Bika, the son of Maharaja Rao Jodha (the founder of Jodhpur), in 1488, Bikaner quickly became an important stop on the trade route between Central Asia and the Gujarat coast, before becoming an important cultural center for arts and architecture under Mughal rule in the 16th century. After checking in, a half-day sightseeing tour of this beautiful city starts with a visit to the majestic Junagarh Fort, which was built by Raja Rai Singhji between 1571 and 1611.

Commissioned by wealthy merchant families from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, the Shekhawati region is dotted with so many beautifully painted havelis that discovering them is like a treasure hunt, with the fine art adorning the walls and ceilings perfectly contrasting against the otherwise flat, barren landscapes of the region.
