Camel Festival

Additional Details

An enthusiastic and beautiful occasion, the Camel Festival is organised by the Department of Tourism, Art & Culture, Rajasthan in Bikaner each year. January is simply the right month for a desert spree, and Bikaner simply the correct place to see the Ships of the Desert. In the camel nation Bikaner, these desert leviathans pull substantial truck loads, transport grain and even work at the wells. The Camel Festival starts with a beautiful parade of festooned camels against the red sandstone scenery of the Junagarh Fort, the celebration developments to the open sand-spreads of the grounds, emulated by the best breed rivalry, the tug-of-war challenge, camel move and aerobatic exhibition, and so on.

The camels presentation stunning footwork, moving nimbly to the scarcest bearing of their mentors. Marriage, harnesses, bejewelled necks, jingling anklets and long, slender camel shadows on shadowy sands throws a mysterious spell. Several sightseers and many locals and dignitaries rejoice in this man-and-creature issue organised particularly for the travelers.

The nighttimes close with an alternate tenor and rhythm by and large: an universal meet of famous artistes of Rajasthan and the neighborhood people entertainers. The upbeat skirt-swirling lovers of the dance floor, the stunning fire move, and the amazing firecrackers illuminate the sustained forsake city of Bikaner. Bikaner is associated by rail and way with all the major urban areas. The closest airstrip is at Jodhpur (243 kms.).
