Visiting Bikaner’s architectural gems justifies a second visit. The unique Junagarh Fort (16th century) provides an important link to one’s experience because it combines Rajput, Gujarati and Mughal architecture without being on top of a hill. Instead, Junagarh sits right in the city so that visiting the fort has a different feel to it. Additionally, the extravagant Rampuria Havelis have been called, “the pride of Bikaner,” by Aldous Huxley and allow for exquisite craftsmanship to follow you each time you visit.
Living Traditions and a Unique Culinary Heritage
In return, the chances for cultural encounters are even richer. Seasonal festivals like the Camel Festival simply enhance Bikaner’s living traditions. Bikaneri food culture, especially Bikaneri Bhujia; first made in 1877, continues to provide unique flavor experiences that you will never tire of.
Wider Connections and the Psychological Benefits of Familiarity of Place
Research indicates there are unique psychological benefits to visiting the same place again. Among these benefits you can discover: comfort through familiarity, broader connections with locals, and the freedom to explore beyond everyday tourist activities. When you don’t feel rushed to see everything on your first visit you will arrive in a different mental state on your second visit, potentially allowing you to relax into the discomfort of connecting with new locals, sights and perhaps tastes.
Bikaner always provides an opportunity for some novelty. From camel research centers, to ceremonial temples, Bikaner never runs out of new and interesting things you have not yet seen. It may be true that the best travel decision may be to revisit. Some places just feel like home.
