The fortress is bounded by a moat and consists of 37 palaces and pavilions, including Chandra Mahal, Phool Mahal and Karan Mahal. The museum within the fort encloses priceless miniature paintings and extraordinary antiques of great interest to art lovers. After that, go to Karni Mata Temple (Rat Temple).
- Rat Temple ( Karni Mata Temple): The famous 600 years old temple is situated 30 K.M. from Bikaner in Deshnok. It is also known as Karni Mata Temple. This temple is dedicated to Karni Mata, an incarnation of Goddess Durga. Maharaja (King) Ganga Singh donated the temple's massive, carved silver gates. The most exciting thing about the temple is the rats scamper freely within precincts. They are regarded as sacred and are fed by priests & devotees because they will be reincarnated in the goddess's family. These holy rats are called Kabbas. And many people travel a great distance to pay their respects. The temple draws visitors worldwide from across the country for blessings and curious tourists.
- After visiting the Rat Temple, the guest will be dropped off at Jodhpur.
