Pushkar

The Pushkar Camel Fair is one of the biggest spectacles in India. Every November, up to 400,000 visitors from all over Rajasthan gather together with their cattles, camels, and horses for fourteen days. This traditional ‘mela’, or fair, is filled with laughter, color, and camaraderie between the locals of the region.

Pushkar’s best weather comes around November to February, when the desert climate is milder than usual. Go on a camel safari adventure during this time of year for a more comfortable experience.

Staying within the central part of Pushkar allows you to travel seamlessly between its major tourist attractions in the north and south. Budget-friendly boutique hotels are popular with solo travelers, while resorts in the city and tented accommodations in the desert cost more but provide a fuller experience.
