This Royal walled city is a part of the desert tourist triangle and lies onthe northern tip of the triangle. The city was founded in 1486 AD by the Rathore prince, Rao Bikaji, hence the name Bikaner. Bikaji was son of Rao Jodhaji who had asked his son to establish a kingdom of his own. The challenge was accepted and Bikaji choose the wild country 'Jangaldesh' ashis territory and thus the city of Bikaner came into existence.  
 
A seven-kilometres wall with five entrances was built to protect the city from vagaries of the desert and any external aggression. The city flourishedas an important trade centre between Gujarat seaports and West Asian countries. The unbroken line of descendants of Bikaji ruled Bikaner till India got Independence.
