Pushkar Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

Pushkar, a place where according to the Hindu's Brahma created the universe from the petals of a lotus, with each lotus forming a lake. Pushkar is where we are now and I like it. They are some regulations when arriving within the city, firstly there is no traffic allowed, other than motorbike, handrickshaw or cow. Following that, no meat, eggs o...

We escaped the noise of Jaisalmer and caught a bus to the Hindu pilgrimage town of Pushkar. By far the scariest thing was our bus ride here, where the driver thought it was fine to spend 2.5 hours of the 3 hour trip on the wrong side of the road...Apparently this is normal for bus trips though and we were told not to worry by more seasoned trave...

We're still in Pushkar, the town has the kind of attraction that keeps travellers here for much longer than anticipated and if you have the time then why not? We're happy to be cruising Rajastan slowly. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Well at least until we hit Goa for the Xmas parties. Nadine has stood in a mountain of sacred cow **** so big that her e...

Well, another crazy, fun day! It is very cold at night in Pushkar, we had to use lots of blankets to keep warm in our tents. Last night they had a puppet show for us with Indian puppets - one was a girl dancer, one was a snake charmer, and one was a guy whose head kept coming off - it was very funny. I am trying some of the food, but everything ...

This is a test. Last night I spent about 20 minutes writing about my travels so far and then it wouldn't add the entry. So, I'll test first.

A 5 hour bus ride to Ajmer and then switch for another 30 minute bus to Pushkar.

After planning to stay a night in Pushkar, which seemed from the guidebook to consist of a lake, a walk and a few temples, we stayed three, this due to the tranquil setting that we let absolve us, a place miles away from the urban plight, pollution and crafty rickshaw drivers that are part and parcel of Rajasthan's bloating metropolis and capita...

We're currently in Pushkar where India's biggest camel fair is currently taking place. There's thousands of camels being decorated to be bought and sold here in the desert. Amazing just to watch the showcasing and bargaining for the camels. The going rate for a camel seems to be around $250. Apparently, a handshake and exchange of money does not...

To get to Pushkar the three of us got a train to Ajmer nd then changed to get the 30 mins bus to Pushkar. The train was half an hour late so all my rushing to get there was pointless. I met the girls on the platform as they had gone somewhere i the moening - i was too tired! I had such a good sleep last night! The train was a little late but it ...

- Day 7 - Did some serious mincing in the morning and caught the lunch time bus to Pushkar (4 bumpy hours down the road). Pushkar is a whole lot quieter than Delhi and Jaipur. There are no rickshaws and few cars so comparatively it's quite tranquil (it still smells of cow **** mind due). I also got bothered loads by the local peasants but I've n...
