Nagaur lies midway between Jodhpur and Bikaner. The
area is arid and known for farming communities such as Jats and
Bishnois. The place is mainly noteworthy for the rustic rural charm and
colorful life seen on the way. The most interesting sight is that of the
red chillies being dried in open fields.

camp on their outstation travels. Nagaur also has some noteworthy
mosques. The best time to be at Nagaur is during the annual cattle fair.
