Visually, the lake itself is no big deal besides being its history, but if you stay there for a while you can see a beautiful landscape, people coming and going and devotees with their prayers. Pushkar is not a beautiful city at all, but it has a great value to the hindus, because there's the only Brahma temple in India... More

About a two hours drive from Jaipur you land amidst a couple hundred temples surrounding the Holy Lake of Pushkar. Get a guide for about INR 50 who takes you around telling the legend / folklore about how it all happened. I strongly suggest you stay away from the Brahmins on the ghats who will sweet talk you into making... More

I remembered the days when pond at Pushkar was one of most beautiful pond, surrounded by ancient temples and some palaces but in last decade it has lost its charm . this is accompanied by lot of construction from Ajmer to Pushkar. In fact one can see temples had made their personnel water pool at their ghats. I hope soon... More

If your plan a trip to Pushkar allotted one to three days, do not waste your time and money, do not come here, will most likely be disappointed. Pushkar is a special place that will require you to time and be sure to answer gratitude. It is not Taj Mahal, which is sufficient for the day. If you want to... More

I had heard a lot about Pushkar and have always wanted to go. However as soon as we reached the centre and got out of our car, we were approached by this so called community service personnel who wouldn't leave us. Although we told him that we wanted to be left in peace, he kept following us around. The area... More

The lake is pretty enough and the surrounds are clean but nothing special. However, walking nearby is interesting with many small shops and cafes - most very standard but some with artsy or interesting products and decor.

The view of the lake from ghats is typical & some cleanup on the ghats would help. The Aravali mountain range as seen from ghats is scenic. The alleys from car park leading to lake are full of camels & cows, which leads to mess-up on the roads. Be careful where you step! Ignore the priests who offer to perform... More
