Pushkar Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Jaipur, commonly known as the Pink City, gets its name due to being partially encircled by a battle-scarred wall and gates, where the town is so divided into rectangles that each specialises in different crafts. All the walls and most of the shops situated in long blocks are all painted a salmon-pink colour, some with white paintwork to embellis...

I am in Pushkar today. We are all here for 'Hindi Camp'. It is supposed to be a three day, extra intensive Hindi boot camp type thing. So far we are just really enjoying the city. Pushkar is beautiful and a wecome change from the intensity of Jaipur. Pushkar is considered to be one of, if not the, holiest city in India for the Hindus. The main t...

To get to Pushkar, we had to get the early morning train to Ajmer where we met some fellow travelers from Sweden, China and Peru. Once in Ajmer, we got ambushed by about 30 taxi drivers, all wanting to take us the 10 km trek out to Pushkar. Unfortunately, I had to be a little aggressive, in order to physically get out of the station. After a lot...

Well, well, well, this is the third time trying to post this because the power keeps going out, so we will see how it goes. Things have been pretty crazy since I joined the Rajithan tour group Oct 28th. We have seen and done many things. Too much to tell you now. But I am having a blast. Last night we went on a camel ride out in the desert to wa...

Pushkar is a small town or 15,000 or so odd souls and 400 milky-colored temples surounding a 'holy' lake. Once again, by holy I mean that our author must abstain from all meat, eggs, and yes alcohol. If one were to look it up in lonely planet it would surely say to visit it during it's November (Kartika by the Hindu calendar) Camel Fair, an even...

Hello all, here's another sign of life from me in Pushkar. After a ****** night yesterday i finally woke up feeling a lot better. I've felt better before, but then after a few hours things went wrong again. We're now halfway through the day and i'm still feeling relatively well ! Looks like there is fnally light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe t...

I am going to make this short and to the point, all flowery vocab and descriptions will either come at a later date or not at all, most likely it will be not at all. Tonight I am getting on a bus, a 12 hour overnight bus, to Agra. The last time I was on a bus I swore that I would never be on an Indian bus for any longer than eight hours. It's am...

I , (gail) was speaking to my sister yesterday on messenger. She asked 'is India really as bad as you say on the blog or are you having a laugh?' I think this issue deserves a little more explaination.....first on the issue of indian men. Of course we have only been in north india and this region is known for its sexist chauvanistic men. Maybe t...

After the excitement of seeing the tiger in Ranthambore it was time to think about moving on. We didn't have plans for what happened next but we'd heard about a little town on the edge of the Rajasthani desert called Pushkar; a holy town with a sacred lake & pilgrims galore. After some investigation it was also a pain to get to but we decide...
