Everything You Need to Know About Ajmer

Top Places to Visit on Ajmer Tour Packages

Any well-planned Ajmer trip package centres on the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, the shrine of the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in India, drawing devotees from every faith. The shrine's qawwali sessions in the evening and the giant community cooking pots (degs) in its kitchen are as much a part of the visit as the tomb itself. If your dates line up with the annual Urs festival, expect the town to be considerably busier than usual.

Ana Sagar Lake, an artificial lake built in the 12th century by Anaji Chauhan (grandfather of Prithviraj Chauhan), sits close to the dargah and is bordered by the Daulat Bagh gardens, laid out later under the Mughal emperor Jahangir. A boat ride here in the evening, with the marble pavilions along the bank lit up, is a common way to close out a day of sightseeing.

Taragarh Fort, perched on the Nagpahari hills above the city, is counted among the oldest hill forts in India and gives a wide view over Ajmer below, though the climb up is steep enough that it's worth timing for cooler hours. Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, originally a Sanskrit college before being converted into a mosque at the end of the 12th century, is known for its carved stone facade and is usually combined with the same visit as Taragarh Fort, since they sit close together.

Soniji Ki Nasiyan, a Jain temple more commonly called the Red Temple, holds an elaborate gold-leaf model of the Jain concept of the universe inside its main hall - worth the short stop even if you're not visiting for religious reasons. Nareli Jain Temple, a newer complex a short drive outside the city, and Foy Sagar Lake, a quieter artificial lake popular for an evening walk, round out a full day of sightseeing for travellers with time to spare.

Ajmer and Pushkar

No Ajmer tour package is really complete without a stop in Pushkar, roughly 14 km away over a short hill road. Pushkar Lake and the Brahma Temple, one of the few temples in India dedicated to Brahma, are usually covered in a half-day trip from Ajmer, and many travellers combine both cities into a single overnight stay rather than treating them as separate trips.

Shopping in Ajmer

Dargah Bazaar, Naya Bazaar and Churi Bazaar around the old city are where most local shopping happens, with ittar (natural, oil-based perfume) being one of Ajmer's better-known local products. Prayer items, rose garlands and chadars for the dargah are sold along the approach lanes, and if you continue on to Pushkar, its market is separately known for silver jewellery and camel-leather goods.

Best Time to Book Ajmer Tour Packages

October through March is the most comfortable window for an Ajmer tour package, with mild days suited to walking around the lake, the fort and the old city lanes. Summers, from April to June, get hot enough that sightseeing works best kept to mornings and evenings. If your trip is timed around the Urs festival or the Pushkar Camel Fair, book your stay well in advance, since both events bring a sharp rise in visitors to the region.

Plan Your Ajmer Trip with Rajasthan Cab Hire

A comfortable Ajmer trip depends on reliable transport between the dargah, the lake and the old city, and on a driver who can also take you on to Pushkar without adding a separate booking. Rajasthan Cab Hire offers sedans for small groups, SUVs for families, and tempo travellers for larger parties, with drivers familiar with the Ajmer-Pushkar road and the parking arrangements near the dargah. Whether you need a single day of local sightseeing or a longer Ajmer 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.
