Short answer: three days is a good length for Jaipur and Pushkar. Spend a day in Jaipur, drive about 145 km (90 miles) to Pushkar on day two via Amber Fort, spend the evening at the holy lake, and return to Jaipur on day three. Pushkar is a holy town, so meat, eggs and alcohol are not sold there.
Jaipur is a royal city of palaces and bazaars. Pushkar, about 145 km (90 miles) away, is a small holy town around a lake, with ghats, temples and a bazaar that smells of rosewater and marigolds. Together they give you two Rajasthans: the grand one and the devout one.
Pushkar is a pilgrimage town, so meat, eggs and alcohol are not sold in its centre, and visitors remove shoes at the ghats. On the ghats, priests may offer to perform a ceremony and ask for a donation. You can decline politely, and your guide helps you with this.
Pushkar’s famous camel fair is held around November, and its dates follow the lunar calendar. If you want to attend, tell us early, as hotels fill up.
Met at the airport or hotel. Visit the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and a photo stop at Hawa Mahal with a licensed guide, then free time in the bazaars.
Visit Amber Fort early (by jeep or on foot), then drive about 145 km (90 miles) to Pushkar (two and a half to three hours). In the late afternoon, walk to the lake and its ghats with your guide, then the Brahma temple and the bazaar at sunset.
A relaxed morning by the lake, then drive about 145 km (90 miles) back to Jaipur (two and a half to three hours) for your onward journey. We can also end the trip in Delhi, about 400 km (250 miles) away, which is a long drive of seven to eight hours.
Rajasthan rewards good planning. These are the details we handle so the distances never feel like work.
Remove shoes, dress modestly, and be ready to decline a priest’s offer politely. Your guide helps you do all of this with ease.
Amber Fort is visited early, and Pushkar is seen at the end of the day, when the lake is at its calmest.
The same driver stays with you throughout, and a licensed local guide joins you in each city.
Your guide is chosen for the language you prefer and the things you love. Ask for Japanese or Russian and we will arrange it where we can.
Rajasthan is big, so here is every leg with its distance and likely drive time. Times vary with traffic and stops.
| Leg | Distance | Drive time | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaipur to Pushkar | about 145 km (90 miles) | 2.5 to 3 hours | Lake and Brahma temple |
| Pushkar to Jaipur | about 145 km (90 miles) | 2.5 to 3 hours | For onward flight or train |
