Travel Tips from people who've been to Deshnoke
Ok, there is only one reason to visit Deshnok: the rat temple. As the name says it is a temple where rats are worshipped, given milk, fed,... Quite an interesting sight.

Uhm, and if you think the sweets sold at stalls sold around the temple look tasty - DO NOT try them ! They are supposed to be given to the rats inside the temple - as I realized after having tried one :-/

It is a short busride from Bikaner (about 45 min.) Try to get a seat on the bus roof if you dare, it's a very nice ride this way - however be sure to wear thick trousers: sometimes the roof is black and you can imagine what happens with it in the sun ;-)
Good tip?

Go see that Rat Temple near Deshnok... it is almost unbelievable to see all those rats living together, and see how the locals venerate them!!! Apparently it is good luck if you spot a white one and defenetly good luck if one walks on your feet!!!
