Tranquil village with several festivals
Deshnok is a small village in Rajasthan's Bikaner District. In the past, the community here was called "dus-nok," which meant "ten corners," since it was formed from the intersection of 10 smaller settlements.
Suggested Duration - 1 to 2 Days
The Karni Mata Temple and other celebrations in Deshnok have brought it widespread fame. In this one-of-a-kind Indian temple, even rats are worshipped. On the two occasions each year that the Karni Mata Fair is celebrated, a considerable number of worshippers make the pilgrimage to this temple. Even more so than the Deshnok Festival, the Gangaur Festival is a major draw for the city. This festival honours Goddess Gauri Mata and is held annually by ladies in the month of March.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
