Another unique feature of Bikaner is the sand dunes that dot the entire district, especially from the northeast to the south. Bikaner is located in the northern part of Rajasthan. One of his early founded cities, Bikaner still displays ancient opulence with red sandstone palaces and forts that have survived the passage of time. The city has some of the best camel riding in the world, earning it the nickname 'Camel Country'. It is also home to one of the world's largest camel research and breeding farms. It is also known for its own temple dedicated to Desnok's Karni Mata called Rat Temple.

Until the mid-15th century, the area of ​​present-day Bikaner was a barren wilderness called Jangladesh. Rao bika was the man who founded the city Bikaner in 1488. He was the eldest son of Rao Jodha, the maharaja of the Rathore clan, the founder of Jodhpur, who conquered the largely arid lands of northern Rajasthan. As Jodha's eldest son, he had his own kingdom and did not want to inherit Jodhpur or inherit the title of Maharajah from his father. As such, he decided to establish his own kingdom in the current state of Bikaner in the Jangladesh region. Despite being in the Thar Desert, Bikaner was considered an oasis on trade routes between Central Asia and the Gujarat coast due to its abundant spring water. Bika's name was associated with the city he built and the state of Bikaner ("Bika Settlement") he founded. Bika he built a fort in 1478, now in ruins, and 100 years later a new fort known as Junagarh Fort, which was built about 1.5 km away from the town center. About a century after Rao bika founded Bikaner, the country flourished under his sixth Raja, Rai Singhji, who ruled from 1571 until 1611. During Mughal rule in the country, Raja Rai Singh accepted Mughal suzerainty and held a high position as an army general in the courts of Emperor Akbar and his son Emperor Jahangir. Rai Singh's successful military exploits consisted of taking over half of the Mewar kingdom to victory for the empire, earning him decorations and rewards from the Mughal emperor. He was given the jagir (land) of Gujarat and Burhanpur. Earning a large income from these jagirs, he built the Chintamani Durg (Junagarh Fort) on a plain with an average height of 230 meters. He was an expert in arts and architecture, and the knowledge he acquired during his visits abroad is amply reflected in the numerous monuments he built at the Junagarh fort.
