What you can expect

Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Bikaner. Travel in comfort to Deshnok, a small town located approximately 30 kilometres from Bikaner.

Arrive at the Karni Mata Temple, a unique and sacred site known for its thousands of resident rats, considered divine and believed to be the reincarnated followers of Karni Mata, a 14th-century mystic and revered goddess.

Explore the marble-fronted temple adorned with intricate silver doors and the image of Karni Mata. Witness the sacred black and white rats freely roaming the complex. Spotting a white rat is considered extremely auspicious.

Take time to observe the rituals, interact with locals, and capture the one-of-a-kind experience. On the way back, visit a local handicrafts shop or sweet shop (optional).
