Beat time to visit Gajner wildlife sanctuary:

One should visit this Sanctuary during the rainy and winter season, which is from October to February. During these months, the beauty of the Gajner wildlife sanctuary enhanced more than ever as the rain water replenished the soil, which had gone dry in summers. The summers in this Sanctuary are not a good time to visit because Bikaner summers are bone dry and get too hot, which is why there is a small tank filled with water where numerous animals and birds come to quench their thirst.
