Ride into the sunset, dance by the fire, eat like a Marwari and fall asleep under the stars — the experiences that make a night in Pushkar.
Ride out across the dunes on a decorated camel and watch the sun drop behind the Aravalli hills.
The camel is to Pushkar what the gondola is to Venice. Our handlers have worked with their animals for years, and the route keeps to quiet sand tracks away from the road. You stop on a high dune for the sunset before riding back to camp as the lamps are lit.

An open-jeep run through dunes, dry riverbeds and farming villages around Pushkar.
Faster and wider-ranging than the camel ride, the jeep safari takes you past rose farms, village wells and the rocky ridges that ring the Pushkar valley. Good for families with older children and for anyone who would like a little dust and adrenalin.

Musicians and Kalbelia dancers perform in the lamp-lit courtyard every evening.
Kalbelia, the swirling dance of Rajasthan's snake-charmer community, is recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Local artists perform around the fire with dholak, khartal and morchang — and you will almost certainly be pulled up to dance.

Dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri and bajra roti — cooked fresh and served hot.
Pushkar is a holy town, so the kitchen is fully vegetarian and alcohol-free, in keeping with local custom. What it loses in restriction it gains in flavour: slow-cooked dal, wood-fired baati soaked in ghee, and desert vegetables you will not find outside Rajasthan.

Away from town lights, the desert sky is the last show of the night.
Once the fire burns low the camp lamps are dimmed. Lie back on a charpai and let your eyes adjust: on a clear, moonless winter night you can trace the Milky Way from one horizon to the other.

The Brahma Temple, the 52 ghats of the holy lake and the old bazaar, with a local guide.
Pushkar is one of the oldest living towns in India and home to one of the very few temples dedicated to Lord Brahma. We arrange a guide and transport for a morning walk around the ghats, the temple and the market lanes, finishing with the town's famous malpua.
