Gajner wild life sanctuary is
situated 32kms from Bikaner on Jaisalmer road. The lush
foliage of the woods here have a number of neelgais(blue
bull), waterfowls, chinkara (black buck), particularly
flocks of imperial sandgrouse and wild boar living here.It
is considered as the prettiest place in the region, with a
lake, a palace, wooded hills and gardens. The lake at
Gajner attracts water birds in thousands, the imperial
sand grouse from Siberia being the most important of
these. Large herds of deers can be seen here grazing
freely. It was developed into a shooting ground for the
royalty. Hunting, as a rule, was a sport limited only to
the feudal chiefs and the Maharajas. Major game was hunted
only during the period of British Raj . The palace, built
by Maharaja Ganga Singhji, served as resort. There was
invitation to the annual sandgrouse shoot in Bikaner that
no one dared miss: it simply belonged on the top of the
heap in society, so designed by Maharaja Ganga Singh at
this hunting lodge. Royalty, both Indian as well as
international, Viceroys and other dignitaries have been
entertained here. The part of palace has now been
transformed into a heritage hotel. |

Camel constitutes a vital
species of the desert ecosystem. It utilizes various
adaptive mechanisms that are most suited to desert life.
It can survive in hot climate with high solar radiation
and sustain on coarse fodder ,salty and thorny bushes.
Considering the importance of the species in development
of arid and semi-arid zones, the Indian Council of
Agriculture Research (ICAR) has established National
Research Center on Camel (NRCC) at Jorbeer,Bikaner(8
kms).It came into existence on 5th July,1984. Bikaner is
the home tract of camel breed Bikaneri that is true
representative of single humped Indian camels (Camelus
dromedarius). This Asia's government-managed farm is
unique and largest in Asia. There are hundreds of camels
here and the scenario in late afternoon is great when
camels come back from grazing. You can have some thick
camel milk.
The experimental results under progress have indicated
that a well built adult camel weighing about 6-7 quintals
could haul 18-20 quintals for 4 hrs. covering a distance
of 20 km. at an average speed of 5kph without showing any
signs of distress. The slender riding camel can cover up
to 100 km in a day at an average speed of 15 kph. Camel
milk is very rich in vitamin C and keeping quality is
good. Camel hair are utilized for making animal cover
clothing, rough cloth, ropes, blankets, carriage bags,
belts, wallets, etc. |
