Pushkar.com exists to answer one question well: how do I make the most of a visit to Pushkar?
We’re travellers who fell for this small town between the lake and the dunes — the bells before dawn, the smell of marigolds and rose water on the bazaar, the light on the ghats at the end of the day. We built this site to gather everything a first-time (or returning) visitor needs in one calm, clutter-free place: honest tour picks, practical transport know-how, real advice on where to stay, and genuinely useful guides to the sights.
What we do
- Curate and compare the best Pushkar tours, tickets and activities.
- Explain how to get here in our getting to Pushkar guide.
- Write practical guides to the town’s temples, ghats, bazaars and dunes.
- Help you find a bed with our where to stay guide.
- Cover the Camel Fair properly, including the parts nobody tells you.
How we stay free
This guide is free to read. When you book a tour or a room through some of our links, we may earn a small commission from our partners — at no extra cost to you. It helps us keep the lights on and the content updated. We only ever recommend experiences we believe are worth your time. Read our full affiliate disclosure.
A note on accuracy
We work to keep the details right, but opening hours, prices, festival dates and transport schedules in India change — and Pushkar’s biggest event moves with the lunar calendar every year. Always confirm the latest information with official operators before you travel. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
A note on respect
Pushkar is a living pilgrimage town, not an attraction. Much of what visitors come to watch — the bathing, the pujas, the aarti — is somebody’s religious practice. We try to write about it accordingly, and we would encourage anyone using this guide to do the same.
