Pushkar is one of the oldest cities of India. It is located near Ajmer in Rajasthan and only to be separated by the “Nag Pahar” or the Snake Mountain. Being one of the pilgrimage spots, Pushkar has abundance of temples and ghats to visit. Moreover Pushkar is one of the few places to boast about temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. A trip to Pushkar is incomplete without visiting the Pushkar Camel Fair or Kartik Mela as it is locally known by due to the fact that the celebrations begin from the month of Kartik in the hindu calender and last till Kartik purnima which coincides with October end and early November.
Apart from the temples, there are several tourist places that one can see with the help of our tour packages for Pushkar. The Pushkar Lake is the pinnacle of the pilgrimage visit. It is surrounded by the blue coloured temples and the ghats. A bath in the holy waters of this lake is believed to wipe off sins and cure skin diseases. The lake has rich aquatic life and many fishes and can be spotted too.
The best time to visit Pushkar is during the months of October and November that is when the Pushkar Mela is being held. However, Pushkar can be visited from October till March as the summer lasts from March till July and the days are hot and unbearable to some extent. There is often a shortage of water in the summer season and this is the reason travelling to Pushkar for a holiday in summer time should be avoided. If you wish to enjoy during the peak season without spending a fortune, book the Pushkar package available on our website.
