visiting friend for holiday in his region

Hello Naveen, How have you been since we last met? I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I'm interested in holidaying to your region. I've been working hard in office for past quarter under high pressure for achieving target. Now as things are a bit relaxed, the idea of taking leave to explore unknown area hit my mind and I started searching possible destinations around the country. During search, I found Bikaner is an interesting one to adventure and I also got reminded that you live in the same area. I was hoping if you can guide me what're some good hotels to stay in Bikaner and is near to places which can be visited during the stay as I prefer not to spend much time in traffic. Also, if you can share me an itinerary for two weeks duration mentioning important places with one or two lines description and locations which can be given visit for tasting local cuisines. I'm also interested to visit a market to purchase few art crafts prepared by local talent to take back home. I've read that Bikaner is hot during the day and cold at night which's confusing me what kind of clothes should I pack. Could you please help me out here to solve this issue? I'm really excited to see you as the memories of our childhood is flouring in my mind at the moment and I can't express my spirit in the words here. I'll book tickets once you reply to my letter. What's new with you? I really look forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards Shantanu Bhardwaj.
