Shanti House, Bikaner, India

A small guesthouse, or living with the family, inside the old city. Wonderful, helpful staff. The family organised free pickup from the bus stop and helped arrange a taxi.

Basic room, run by a young couple. Not trying to sell any tours like jeep safari ..... no hustling, only peacefully being.

The wife is making excellent Bikaner-food, doing Hennas and teaching cooking - if you want.

If you need something, just ask, and you will have it in local prices.

The guesthouse is located inside the old city. It is a small, family run guesthouse with just 4 rooms. The rooms are basic, however they are very clean and comfortable. The owner is very helpful and also a great guide. It is possible to learn to cook, or you can use the kitchen to prepare your own food.
