After reading so many positive reviews on tripadvior i decided to stay in Vinayak guest house Bikaner When I arrived there, I felt like my room hadn't been cleaned at all since the previous guests.The toilet was dirty and there were pieces of paper all over the floor and my bed was very hard and made it difficult to sleep...

I enjoyed our stay in Vinayak - rooms are basic but comfortable. The courtyard area is good for meeting people and the family are all very welcoming. We also did the Camel safari trip with Jitu, who gave great explanations about the wildlife in the area. The food was enjoyable and sleeping outside under the stars was a great experience!

It's a cozy, simple place that connected us to Jitsu and his his lovely wife. Going on a wildlife tour in the Thar Desert with Jitsu (he's working on his Ph.D. in reptiles and also knows a lot about everything else, including birds; we saw rare spotted owlets) and then taking a camel safari with his "camel boys," where we...

Firstly I'd like to say a huge thank you to Jitu who helped make our stay in Bikaner so memorable and happy! The guest house is a little haven away from the bustling streets of bikaner but still close to the fort. Rooms are clean, with plenty of space and at reasonable prices and hot water is available throughout the... More

We stayed 4 nights principally for a camel safari. Double rooms are basic with hot water having to be collected by bucket, we were not sure if bed linen was changed between guests. Food was average, better food could be obtained outside for the same price. Jitu, however, as far as we could tell was fair and knowledgable. After speaking... More

Jitu, the owner, is excellent as a host and especially wildlife expert. Take his tour and ask about the Damoiselle cranes. GREAT guy and unique and wonderful attitude toward the animals and local people.

It was my first trip to Bikaner and could not have asked for a better place than Vinayak guest house to stay. Jitu is the person who can change the entire bikaner experience from good to awesome. His guest house is no frill, very clean and very reasonable in terms of cost. That is not why you should stay at... More
