Jaisalmer, Rajasthan On the road to Jaisalmer, 30 km outside Bikaner, is Gajner Lake. Along the embankment sits Maharaja Ganga Singh's former hunting lodge - Gajner Palace. I coaxed Surjit into making a brief stop (as we had a long drive ahead that day) after reading about the famous parties the Maharaja hosted during the British Raj. It was his summer residence and legendary as much for the Christmas Grouse Shoot as the royal guests. It is also the largest hotel in the world
