It was the last month when I took a Jaipur to out station by car tour. To my surprise, I discovered that there are many places that lie in close proximity to the Pink City. If you are planning a getaway to Jaipur, then do include two more places in the list. Ajmer and Pushkar are two destinations that you may not wish to miss out. There are various centres of attractions in both of these cities that attract travellers from across different parts of the world. Here are 5 things that every traveller visit in Pushkar and Ajmer.

Dargah Sharif, Ajmer -

Dargah Sharif, Ajmer: This is certainly the first place to head while you are in Ajmer. Dargah Sharif is one of the popular pilgrimage places in the city. To enter the main mosque, tourists have to walk a short distance. Along the way, one gets fascinated by the gleamy markets that are nothing less than a delight to the eyes.

The Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti’s dargah reflects a unique divinity that you may not feel anywhere else. Over the decades, many Bollywood celebrities have been paying their visits to this holy place. Before starting with the long journey ahead, do spare time to seek the Khwaja ji’s blessings.

Brahma temple, Pushkar:

In the world, there are not many temples dedicated to the Brahma, the creator. This temple is considered one of the oldest pilgrims in India. Mostly painted in blue tone,

Brahma temple has always a long queue of devotees waiting for the creator’s darshan. Be mentally prepared to make your way to the temple darting out a swarm of people.

Camel Fair, Pushkar:

Pushkar is well-known for this one-of-a-kind fair. In the fair, camels and livestock are bought and sold between interested buyers and sellers. Besides this, there are other competitions organized for the entertainment of foreign and Indian guests.

The 5-day long event which is held in the last quarter of the year makes your Pushkar stay an even more memorable one.

Lakes:

These cities are home to a series of beautiful lakes. There is a lake named Ana Sagar that derives its name from its builder, Anaji Chauhan. If you are searching for a place away from the hustle bustle of the city, then sit by this lake. While in Pushkar, we have the Pushkar Lake that has mythological importance in the Hindu culture.

There are theories behind how this lake come into existence. According to some, Lord Shiva’s tears filled the lake while to others it was the creation of lotus petals that slipped out of Brahma’s hands.

So, what are you waiting for? Opt for either a Jaipur day tour package or another and get started. It’s time to take a Jaipur to out station by car and embrace a new world. Have a safe and happy journey!

Best Time to visit Pushkar
As Pushkar is a year-long tourist destination, you can choose to book a Pushkar-Jaipur tour package at any time of year. But in order to get the most out of your trip, you can choose to visit the town during the months of October – November. This is also the time when the world famous camel fair comes to town. But don’t get too confused with the name, as once the trade fair starts, “camels” only seem to be an add-on in this magnum-opus, where different culture and traditions of Rajasthan seem to share the best of themselves.

Where you will see the 52 ghats of the lake jam-packed with hundreds of pilgrims. For a spiritual getaway, there are about 400 temples in the city. Famous of them are the great Brahma temple, Savitri Temple, Old Rangji Temple, Apteshwar Temple, Paap Mochini Temple, Raghunath Temple. If you are a fan of food, then make sure that your Pushkar-Jaipur tour package must include the eateries which serve Rajasthan's famous cuisine- Dal, Bati, and Churma. For lovers of nature, the place plays a heavenly host. You can take a trip to the nearby Nag Pahars, the mountains on which the entire town resides. Or the famous rose gardens, the hundred acres of farmlands used by local farmers to grow roses for the local and other temples.

In the End
Pushkar is like no place you have seen before. Everything in the town seems to be in perfect harmony with nature and is perfect in every sense. Every corner of the city speaks of spiritualism, and every turn reminds you of the man-divine connection. Even the Jaipur to Pushkar taxi fare is so low that you won’t have to give a second thought while paying off the amount.
