A delightful watered & green refuge in the desert. The lake comes from local ground water & rain. Spacious & clean rooms, often with views across the lake. The whole place, as a former property of the local maharaja, is full of character & history & well kept up. The dining was also excellent. The food in particular. The service occasionally eccentric but always well meaning. We particularly enjoyed the pre sunset boat ride, seeing many interesting birds & also an extremely large wild boar in the far lake shore. There were a lakeside terrace & an open courtyard, where a relaxing drink was possible before or after dinner. The hotel is about 40 minutes out of the city of Bikaner, with its amazing Junagarh Fort. However, the distance is worth it if you want a pleasant base from which to explore Bikaner & its surroundings. Highlights for us were the Fort & rat temple, but buying local fabric ( apparently Bikaner is Asia’s largest wool market) & the camel research centre are also worthwhile. The staff here were all lovely
