Be a part of desert color and passion as you tour the camel festival in Bikaner with Indian Horizons. The camel festival in Bikaner is a lot more than a mere annual cultural extravaganza, it is a tribute to the 'ship of the desert' that is so integral to desert life.

Delight in cultural competitions for the best adorned camel, the best camel haircut, camel milking, camel races and other camel games. See fire dancers at their enthusiastic best and take sheer delight in the panoramic vista of bright fireworks that light up dusky skies over the vast desert.

The camel festival brightens up the rustic camel country in January every year and creates the perfect platform for the people of Bikaner to show off their cultural customs, fantastic folk dances, folk music and enchanting rituals.

The 2-day camel festival mesmerizes you into a delightful world of merry-go-rounds, caparisoned camels, jugglers, puppeteers, snake charmers, fortunetellers, fireworks and undying desert appeal.

Day one of the camel festival begins with a procession of bedecked camels in all their fineries. The colorful camel pageant is followed by camel dance performances. Fireworks light up the sky at dusk. Day two of the camel festival sees an array of camel race events and other cultural performances.

On both the days you get ample opportunity to sink your teeth into camel milk sweetmeats and camel milk tea apart from a range of local dishes that are served at the stalls put up at the camel festival venue.
