Camel research centre and ride

Bikaner

Bikaner is famous as the camel capital of Rajasthan, and the National Research Centre on Camel just outside the city is the only institution of its kind in Asia — a working research station studying camel biology, milk production, and genetics. You can walk among the herds, learn about different camel breeds, and take a short riding experience across the scrub desert. The camel milk ice cream sold here is also genuinely delicious.

Pro tip from your tour advisor

Visit in the late afternoon when the camels are being brought back and the light is warm — it is highly photogenic. The facility also sells camel milk products to take home.
