Selling a backpack in Bikaner
Bikaner sits in the desert with extreme heat, a long-standing snack food trade and a heritage of handicrafts. It is dry enough that stored goods survive better here than almost anywhere else in the country, apart from the dust.
Tourism is seasonal and the craft trade follows it. The dry air preserves wood and textiles well, but fine desert dust gets into everything mechanical and is worth checking for.
The walled old city is narrow and difficult for vehicles while the newer areas are open. Summer heat is extreme and effectively rules out the middle of the day for several months.
Fine desert dust gets into everything mechanical. On anything with a motor or moving parts, ask how it was stored and expect to strip and clean it.
Handing it over in Bikaner
