Everything You Need to Know About Pushkar

Top Places to Visit on Pushkar Tour Packages

Any well-planned Pushkar trip package centres on Pushkar Lake, a holy lake ringed by 52 ghats where pilgrims come for a ritual dip. According to Hindu tradition, Lord Brahma performed a yagna on its banks, which is also why the town holds one of the very few temples anywhere dedicated to Brahma. The Brahma Temple itself, marked by a red spire visible from much of the town, sits a short walk from the lake and draws a steady stream of pilgrims through the day.

Savitri Temple, dedicated to Brahma's wife, sits on top of Ratnagiri Hill and is reached either by a long flight of stairs or a ropeway. The climb takes close to an hour on foot, but the payoff is a wide view over the lake, the town and the desert dunes beyond it, best timed for late afternoon before sunset. Varah Temple, dedicated to Vishnu's boar incarnation, and Rangji Temple, built in a South Indian architectural style unusual for this part of Rajasthan, round out the town's main religious sites.

Beyond the temples, the sand dunes just outside town are where most camel safaris and sunset camel rides start, and if your dates fall in October or November, the Pushkar Camel Fair transforms the open grounds on the edge of town into a large seasonal market for camel and cattle trading, alongside folk music and dance performances.

Shopping in Pushkar

Sarafa Bazaar, Baza Bazaar and Kedalganj Bazaar are Pushkar's main shopping lanes, and unlike the bigger city markets, many of the shops here stay open into the evening. Silver jewellery, tie-dye textiles, and camel-leather goods are the more traditional finds, while a newer set of shops caters to the town's long-running backpacker crowd with loose cotton clothing and semi-precious stone jewellery.

Best Time to Book Pushkar Tour Packages

October through March is the most comfortable window for a Pushkar tour package, with cool evenings suited to sitting by the lake or walking through the bazaar. If you specifically want to catch the Pushkar Camel Fair, plan around the Hindu month of Kartik, usually falling in October or November, and book your stay well ahead, since the town's limited hotel capacity fills up fast during fair week. Summers, from April to June, get hot enough that daytime sightseeing is better kept short.

Pushkar and Ajmer

Pushkar sits only around 14 km from Ajmer over a short hill road, and most travellers treat the two as a single trip rather than separate bookings. A Pushkar Ajmer tour package typically covers the Brahma Temple and lake in Pushkar alongside the dargah and Ana Sagar Lake in Ajmer, either as a long day trip or a single overnight stay split between both.

Plan Your Pushkar Trip with Rajasthan Cab Hire

A comfortable Pushkar trip depends on reliable transport for the short but winding hill road connecting it to Ajmer, and on parking that can get tight near the lake during festival season. Rajasthan Cab Hire offers sedans for small groups, SUVs for families, and tempo travellers for larger parties, with drivers familiar with both towns and the fair-season traffic patterns. Whether you need a single day of local sightseeing or a longer Pushkar Rajasthan tour package that also covers Jaipur, having your transport arranged in advance means less time lost figuring out logistics and more time at the places you came to see.
