Most of the time departs late from BKN and sometimes after BME-RKSH exp.
Please check on platform if the train is departed from BKN - this might help most of the last min travellers.

Great Agree Useful
Dormitory at Bikaner ..

Peace bcoz its may be big station or terminal station but crowd is very less..
So ☮️✌️..
...
more...

However the Dormitory is available at PF1 side on first floor, you need to check in at Enquiry Office at Pf1..

12 hour slot is not available here, you need to book 24 hour slot which cost you ₹190 if offline else ₹202 via IRCTC ..

At pf1 side you may find various food options on road, local food as well as norma thali food ...

In morning had Poha for Rs20 which was damn good at that price..
And in Night i accidentally went to a shop which turns out to be a food place . . Named "Ram Lala Ji ka Basa"
Only thali system at ₹100 with unlimited food, but Papad, Namkeen, Raita at once..
Tawa Roti large in size with Ghee, Dal, Sabzi, some different pickle etc..
Taste was again damn good..

I went to outksirts for desert view and some work..

Thanks

2. chappan bhogh
3. restaurant ganesh , anandam , krishna and more near to each other ) . there was one hotel suraj famous for thali but its restaurant got closed.
For getting auto/taxi you will get the cheaper one at pf 6 end as almost all tourist spots except kot gate are nearer to it
