Local knowledge for Pushkar
Where to stay
Budget travelers stay in the lanes just off Sadar Bazaar and in the guesthouses tucked behind the main ghats. Both put you within a few minutes' walk of Pushkar Lake and the Brahma Temple without paying extra for a lake-facing room.
Getting around
- Ajmer Junction is the nearest railway station, about 15 km away. Shared jeeps and autos run over the Nag Pahar pass into Pushkar for a fraction of what a private taxi costs.
- Priests at the ghats will offer you marigold petals and perform a short blessing, then name a steep 'donation.' You can politely decline before the flowers leave their hands, or agree on a small fixed amount upfront.
- Pushkar is officially dry and meat-free, so don't arrive expecting a cold beer. Some rooftop restaurants quietly bend the rules, but plan around it rather than count on it.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest in May and June when temperatures push past 40°C and tourist traffic drops sharply. The Pushkar Camel Fair during Kartik Purnima (usually November) is the year's price peak, with beds booking out weeks in advance.
