National Research Centre on Camel
राष्ट्रीय उष्ट्र अनुसंधान केन्द्र
India's only camel research institute. Visitors can see several native camel breeds, ride camels and try camel-milk ice cream.
The National Research Centre on Camel is about 8 kilometres southeast of the city. It breeds several native camel breeds, including the Bikaneri, Jaisalmeri and Kachchhi. Visitors can tour the breeding farm and a small museum. In the evening, herds of camels returning from grazing in the desert make a spectacular scene. You can also ride a camel, or try camel-milk coffee and ice cream at the milk bar. It is usually open to visitors in the afternoon, and admission is charged. Cameras cost extra. Next door is the Jorbeer Conservation Reserve, where you can watch vultures.
