Rajasthan
Bikaner
Junagarh Fort, camel country, and the best snacks in Rajasthan.
Bikaner is less polished than Jaisalmer and better for it. Junagarh is a rare fort never taken by an enemy, the camel research centre is genuinely interesting, and the bhujia is not a souvenir cliché — it is the local industry.
