Pushkar the all-inclusive town

February 18 2020 BY Admin

Known to the community of Hindus all around the world to be a spiritual place, the small town of Pushkar has much more to offer. It is the home to the only temple of Brahma in the entire world and attracts many pilgrims on a daily basis. On days of religious significance, the small town is full of people who come here to offer prayers to the creator of the World.

But most Rajasthan Tour packages include Pushkar not because of its religious importance, but because of its scenic beauty. The town lies only 15 Kms outside of Ajmer but feels nothing like its neighbor city. Situated in the valley and locked in with the Aravalli ranges on all sides, the drive to Pushkar is a mini getaway from the scorching heat of Rajasthan.

The tour of Pushkar begins at the ghat where about a hundred temples are located. Visitors offer their prayers to Lord Vishnu and from there set foot into the narrow market streets to explore the town. Full of the market that offers a variety of interesting items to take back home, the most attractive items to look for are leather bags and notebooks made with handmade paper and covered with leather. Another Rajasthani town known for its vibrant colours, it is the best place to buy some ethnic attire and jewellery to flaunt here.

After having spent the day in the market and eating food at some fancy café with a rooftop view of the lake, the travel package ensues the famous mountain hiking to the Savitri temple. The 4-hour long expedition is neither too tough nor too tiring. It is perfect for people who are looking for a fun way to spend their time and enjoy breathtaking views in the meanwhile.
After coming down from the trek, one cannot miss the evening aarti at the ghats. The aarti is a once in a lifetime experience, and more lovable on a full moon night. Unlike the aarti on the ghats of the Ganga, these aren’t too crowded and the evening breeze makes it very enjoyable.

India tour and travels call Pushkar a mini Israel of India and it is because of the cuisine that the town has adopted, despite being a spiritual centre. Going around the streets of Pushkar it is impossible to miss Israeli travelers and foods like falafel and hummus. More food like pancakes and pizzas have almost blended in with the local cuisine and you will find street hawkers baking their perfect batches throughout the day.
With all the unique places to visit, to shop, the plethora of food options to chose from and the amazing type of people you are bound to meet here in this town, it is advisable not to skip Pushkar in your Indian holiday travel.

If you are planning to do the Golden Triangle Tour around the month of March, and want to have a blast during holi, you should consider celebrating the festival of colours in the small town. The people come out to show the true spirit of the vibrant and jubilant festival and the locals make a party out of it. And unlike general perception, holi here isn’t limited to temple rituals and praying. There are a lot of party events that you can look up before or ask to be included in your North India Tour Packages. Or you can just choose to step out into the streets on the day of the festival and experience the zeal and enthusiasm with which people celebrate. But be advised to keep your belongings safe from the colours. You can also buy some organic colours from shops in the market. So play and stay safe.
