Travel tips
  • Time it with the Pushkar Camel Fair (Nov) for a once-a-year spectacle — but book stays early.
  • Beware “ghat priest” donation scams at the lake; give only what you want.
  • Pushkar is vegetarian and alcohol-free; eat cheap at rooftop cafés.
  • Hike up to Savitri Temple for sunset (or take the ropeway).
