Kote Gate & Old City Bazaars
कोट गेट
The main gate of Bikaner's Old City. The markets around it sell Bikaner's famous bhujia snacks, sweets and fabrics.
Kote Gate is the main gate in the city wall of Bikaner. Just inside and outside the gate is the busiest market in the Old City, with lanes lined with snack shops, spice stalls and fabric shops. Bikaner is famous for bhujia, crispy gram-flour noodle snacks, and a variety of Indian sweets. You can taste them at long-established shops and buy vacuum-sealed packs to take home. From Kote Gate, walk south through the lanes to reach the Rampuria Havelis and the Bhandasar Temple. It makes a good half-day stroll. Traffic is chaotic, so keep an eye on your belongings.
