Camel Safari in Pushkar The town of Pushkar is 11 kms away from the Sufi pilgrimage spot of Ajmer. The world-famous Pushkar cattle fair happens in the months of winter, mostly in November. Camel safaris in Pushkar are a beautiful experience that tourists have to include in their itineraries. While there are the more popular sunset and sunrise camel tours, along with the day-long tours to the nearby Rose Garden or small hamlets and villages, tourists are strongly advised to go for the long-duration tours and desert treks on camels or camel carts to Nagaur, Mandawa and Jaisalmer from Pushkar. These exciting and adventurous tours include mouth-watering food cooked on the fireside, tent accommodation on the desert under the beautiful desert sky, and the occasional cultural evening with gypsies and other traditional artists of the area. The safaris are available from many operators including the numerous travel agencies around the town of Pushkar. The rate for the sunrise and sunset safaris is Rs. 400, while the more long-drawn-out safaris cost up to Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,500. Some operators in Pushkar are the Pushkar Camel Safari Tours, Vinayak Nagar and Royal Safari Camp. Suggested Tour: Jaipur Ajmer Pushkar Tour
