Hippy Heaven in Peaceful Pushkar

After waking early Wednesday morning, expecting to leave for Pushkar, we got a phone call in the room to say that our driver had been taken ill, and so we were stuck in Udaipur for another day. It wasn't so bad, the sun was shining, and so grabbed me book, and sat out on the hotel balcony for the rest of the morning sun-bathing and reading! About half 12, we headed into town where we got some parcels packaged up. Firstly they box it, (in my case a box that was much too small, then tape it up,...

A Hindu Pilgrimage Town

We arrived today in Pushkar, a holy hillside town beside a holy lake. Hindu's flock here in huge numbers to bath in the ghats, cast flowers into the waters and say prayers. It was also the place where ghandi's ashes were scattered. It seems to have quite a relaxed atmosphere (for india) but for the moment we seem to have lost our driver, so are waiting for him at the hotel...

Pushkar... Camel Country

The ride to Pushkar was on a glorious highway, and we both were able to not only sleep but read in the car. Crrrazy. Pushkar is a nice quiet little town on a lake in central Rajasthan. They are very famous for their annual Camel celebration every year, and this is where we were promised to get to go on a Camel Safari... except it seems our paperwork only said a camel ride. Not good. Luckily Krista had a nice little chat (aka *****fest) with the tour man on the phone and it appears we will go ...

Pushkar - Bikaner - Jaisalmer

From Jaipur, we headed off to Pushkar (taking 2 1/2 hours) and checked into the best hotel yet. "Hotel New Park" was surrounded by fruit trees, mountains and beautiful scenery. Best thing about it was the swimming pool. This was fantastic!! met a couple here from Bridport, Dorset. We ventured into town for some more hassle from kids selling ****. Looked at the lake and I got headbutted by a cow!!! Had a swim or 2 to cool down which was lush. Had a storm consisting of very strong winds and a p...

Bramins and a Dry Lake

... would not be challenged. (I had even resigned in my head to 101 ruppes which was not no money at all; I figured it was to help the religious community of Pushkar). After the temple he took Teri and I down to the lake and we were obviously extremely skeptical. My priest was quite understanding, when he brought up money I told him that was about faith and none of this was his business, yet Teri's priest seemed to try to work in "I will pay 1000 ruppees" into the manta about ...

Jodpur and Pushkar

... camped in the middle of a desert. Jodpur is all about the fort which towers over the city majestically. It was definitely well worth coming to town just top see the fort. It even seemed that some Indian women were allowed to see the fort. For the 1st time ever I had one of this little audio tour things for the fort and it was brilliant. I had put a deposit down on a bus to Ajmir at a tour office in the morning but we got ...

Pushkar

... avec nos vélos alors que eux refaisaient la route. Nous avons croisé beaucoup de tracteurs et sommes allés jusqu' à Ajmer. C'était très sympa. Heureusement quand même qu un camion nous a pris sur la route du retour car les montés étaient énormes et les descentes un peu dangereuses ! Nous avons donc chargé les vélos, il nous restait encore un bon bout !Puis soirée tranquille après cet effort ! Florent et Guillaume sont partis avecle bus de cinq heures et nous restons ...

No Curry, No Hurry - Still In Pushkar

... along with some tribal jewellery and leather. I learned very quickly about how to deal in business in India. All is not as it always appears and times and dates are virtually useless. I'm looking to fuse hand-stitched, antique, Rajastan embroidery with modern style designs using new textiles resulting in a unique garment. The styles i'm interested in can be described as wearable costumes, vaudeville, old skool circus, tribal, exotica, pixies, theatrical, gypsy, victorian ...

It;s tiring being healthy in India

... for dinner, and drank a couple of glasses of chai just for good measure as we watch Lagaan on the rooftop restaurant. We've already received our Pushkar Passports - a red and yellow strings tied around my right wrist. We have had puja down on Pushkar Lake, a peaceful and picturesque lake dedicated to Lord Brahma. We throw offerings of red colour, yellow colour, sugar, rice and fresh flowers into Pushkar Lake, Holy Lake, and say a pray for my mother my ...

The Epic Pushkar Camel Fair

... looking for an opportunity. You've got to watch your gear eagle eye style. This We've given the Anaconda tent away to a band of gypsie who live in desert nomad style tents. Nadine met a child on the way to the post office who showed her around the gypsy family tents on the edge of the desert in the hope of getting her to buy some flour for making chappati bread. It was a ploy to make money like the children who always ask for money for the baby sister's powdered milk ...
