Gajner Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans 24 square kilometers and contains a lake that draws numerous animal species, including deer, antelope, nilgai, and desert foxes.

The Gajner Wildlife Sanctuary started as a hunting ground for the Maharaja of Bikaner during the British Raj before turning into a protected area.

The sanctuary maintains its connection to regional heritage through the adjacent Gajner Palace, built by Maharaja Sir Ganga Singh in the late 19th century.

Located 32 kilometers from Bikaner, the sanctuary opens for visits between October and March when temperatures allow comfortable wildlife observation.

Imperial sand grouse migrate to this sanctuary annually, sharing the habitat with resident species such as black buck and Indian grey hornbill.
