Junagarh Fort is very impressive and is worth a visit. It is now well organised and geared up for tourist.

The printing and dying areas are in the old town and is usually in full production on hot days so the cloth can dry quickly.
Bikaner is certainly a fascinating place with an atmosphere all of it's own.....and some people think 10ºC in December is cold.....!
