Plan My Pushkar TripTravelling from abroad

Plan from AbroadThe holy town
Pushkar is one of India's oldest pilgrimage towns, built around a sacred lake and home to one of the very few Brahma temples in the world. It's small and easy to walk, and it moves at a slow pace. It's also a vegetarian town: no meat, eggs or alcohol are served.
See it in a day, or stay a night or two and add Ajmer. We plan the version that fits your time.
Your final plan lists the stay, car, meals, tickets and activities, so you know exactly what's included.
What Pushkar is famous for
Pushkar is best known for its holy lake, the Brahma Temple, its ghats and the yearly Camel Fair. These are the stops we build your Pushkar sightseeing package around.
01
One of the very few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma, the Hindu creator god. The present temple dates mostly from the 14th century, with a red spire and a swan (hamsa) carved above the gate. Leather items aren't allowed inside, and phones and cameras are usually kept outside. We confirm the current rules for your visit.
02
The holy lake is ringed by 52 ghats, where pilgrims bathe and pray. The evening aarti, with bells, chanting and lamps on the water, happens at sunset at the main ghats. Take off your shoes before stepping onto a ghat, and never photograph people bathing without asking.
03
Set on Ratnagiri Hill above town, with the best view of Pushkar and its lake. Walk up in about an hour, or take the ropeway in a few minutes. Go early for sunrise and cooler air. We check whether the ropeway is running on your date.
04
Sadar Bazaar runs along the lake. Shop for silver jewellery, rose water and gulkand made from local roses, colourful textiles, leather bags and souvenirs. Try a hot malpua, Pushkar's famous sweet. Tell us if shopping is a priority and we'll keep time for it.
05
Pushkar is said to have hundreds of temples. Besides the big ones, walk past the South Indian-style Rangji Temple, the Varaha Temple and the Gayatri Temple on the hill opposite Savitri, which is good at sunset. The lanes are narrow and mostly closed to cars, so this part is on foot. A local guide can be added on request.
06
Every year in the Hindu month of Kartik, usually October or November, thousands of camels and traders gather on the dunes at the edge of town. Expect camel trading, races, folk music and fun contests, ending with the holy dip on Kartik Purnima. Dates change every year, and we confirm them for you.
Dress modestly at the ghats and temples. Some priests at the lake offer a flower puja. It's entirely your choice, so accept only if you want one, and agree on any donation first.
Sightseeing
Choose the temples, the lake, the markets or a mix of all three. Some stops involve steps or short walks where cars can't go, so we plan the route around that, plus the traffic, weather and timings.

Plan My SightseeingItineraries
Short answer: one day is enough for the lake, the Brahma Temple and the bazaar. Stay two days to catch the evening aarti, Savitri Temple at sunrise and a trip to Ajmer without rushing.

Costs
Short answer: your Pushkar trip cost depends on the hotel or camp, the number of nights, your car and pickup city, your group size and the season. Camel Fair dates cost far more than normal dates. Share your plan for an exact quote.
Packages
A lake-view or heritage hotel, the aarti at sunset, sunrise at Savitri Temple and slow walks through the lanes, with your own car and an optional Ajmer day.
A pilgrimage-friendly plan with fewer stops, the ropeway instead of the climb, and rooms close to the lake. Share the ages and any mobility needs.
The right vehicle for your group, rooms or tents together and one shared plan. Solo travellers get a simple, safe route with a local contact.
Once a year
When is the Pushkar Camel Fair? It follows the Hindu calendar and is held in the month of Kartik, usually in October or November, ending on Kartik Purnima. The exact dates change every year, so we confirm them before you book.
The fair is the busiest time of year in Pushkar. Tented fair camps and hotels sell out months ahead, and roads get crowded. Book early, and for photos, head to the trading ground at sunrise.
Plan by season
Short answer: Pushkar is at its best from October to March, with pleasant days for walking the ghats and climbing to Savitri Temple.
