So much to see

Don't worry about the accommodation. To add to the whole feel, visitors who've travelled from far will be housed in royal tents within the fort. Since the show is scheduled for the night, you can tour Bikaner, which is just two hours away from the venue. If that doesn't sound convincing enough, you may walk down to the world famous Nagaur cattle fair.
