Things to do in Pushkar
Temples and ghats in the morning, the dunes in the evening. A simple two-day plan for seeing the best of Pushkar without rushing.
Temples, ghats and the bazaar
Brahma Temple — one of the very few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma, with its red spire and marble floors.
Pushkar Lake — a sacred lake ringed by 52 ghats. Come at dawn, or for the evening aarti at Varaha or Gau Ghat.
Savitri Mata Temple — a hilltop temple reached by steps or ropeway, with the best sunrise view over the valley.
Pushkar bazaar — silver jewellery, embroidered textiles, leather goods and rose products. Try the malpua.

Camels, music and stars
Pushkar sits at the edge of the Thar, and the dunes begin just outside town. A camel or jeep safari at sunset, a Kalbelia dance show by the bonfire and a night of stargazing are what make the trip feel like Rajasthan.
Pushkar in two days
Day 1: arrive by midday and check in at camp. Sunset camel safari, folk music and dance by the bonfire, Rajasthani dinner, stargazing.
Day 2: sunrise chai at your tent and breakfast. Head into town for the ghats and Brahma Temple, take the ropeway to Savitri Mata, then lunch and shopping in the bazaar before you leave.
Have an extra day? Add a jeep safari through the villages, or time your trip with the Pushkar Camel Fair.
