Short answer: yes, you can add Pushkar to the Golden Triangle in six days. See Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, then drive about 145 km (90 miles) to Pushkar for the lake, ghats and Brahma temple, and end in Jaipur. Pushkar is a holy town, so meat and alcohol are not sold in the centre.
Pushkar is one of the oldest towns in India, built around a sacred lake and one of the few temples dedicated to Brahma. It is a small, calm contrast to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Adding it to the Golden Triangle takes only an extra day.
The route runs one way, ending with the drive from Pushkar to Jaipur airport, about 145 km (90 miles), so you do not retrace the road. Pushkar is a holy town, so meat, eggs and alcohol are not sold in the centre.
Met at the airport and taken to your hotel. If you arrive early, an easy afternoon in Old and New Delhi with a licensed guide.
Drive about 230 km (145 miles) to Agra (three and a half to four hours). Visit Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal in the afternoon light.
Drive about 240 km (150 miles) to Jaipur (five to six hours), stopping at Fatehpur Sikri.
Visit Amber Fort (by jeep or on foot) early, then the City Palace and Jantar Mantar.
Drive about 145 km (90 miles) to Pushkar (two and a half to three hours). Visit the lake, ghats and Brahma temple with your guide, then the bazaar at sunset.
Drive about 145 km (90 miles) to Jaipur airport or station (two and a half to three hours) for your onward journey. Plan flights from the afternoon.
The Golden Triangle is the most travelled route in India, and a few details make it feel easy.
The same driver stays with you throughout, and a licensed local guide joins you in each city.
The Taj Mahal is never planned on a Friday, when it is closed, and Amber Fort is visited early.
A government-approved guide joins you in each city, matched to the language and pace you prefer.
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.

Pushkar is a holy town. Meat, eggs and alcohol are not sold in the centre, and shoes come off at the ghats. Priests may offer a ceremony and ask for a donation, and you may decline politely.
October to March is the most comfortable, with clear skies and mild days. December and January mornings can be cold and foggy. April to June is very hot, and July to September is monsoon, green and quiet.
