Nagaurनागौर
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Nagaur: see Nagaur Fort, visit Deresiya Mata temple and sample local sweets; travel from Jodhpur or Bikaner.
Nagaur is a small Rajasthan city of about 111 000 people, known for its historic forts, a Maheshwari Kuldevi temple and regional sweets. It lies midway between Jodhpur and Bikaner, making it a convenient day‑trip stop. Most attractions are within walking distance of the main market, so one day is enough to see the highlights.
