As heritage tourism gains momentum, Rajasthan is emerging as a leading tourist hotspot in India. The state has ingeniously transformed its heritage buildings into self-sustaining tourist attractions. The introduction of these flights coincides with Rajasthan’s investment in new projects to cater to the increasing number of tourists. Bikaner, known for its heritage sites, palaces, and forts, is often called the ‘Red City’ due to its red sandstone Havelis. The new Delhi-Bikaner connection offers convenient access to this growing tourist destination while boosting the economies of both cities.

Delhi, India’s bustling capital, is a vibrant metropolis that seamlessly blends ancient history with modernity. From iconic landmarks like the Red Fort and India Gate to diverse culinary experiences, Delhi offers a captivating journey through time and culture.

Bikaner, a vibrant city in Rajasthan, is renowned for its rich heritage and cultural charm. Known for its stunning architecture, including the Junagarh Fort and Lalgarh Palace, it’s also famous for its camel festival and delicious Bikaneri sweets. Its unique blend of tradition and history makes Bikaner an intriguing destination for travellers.
