Trip Overview
Pushkar is one of the most sacred and unique towns in all of India — a small desert oasis built around the holy Pushkar Lake, whose 52 ghats are flanked by over 400 temples. The town holds the world's only Brahma Temple (the creator god rarely worshipped elsewhere in India), and a dip in Pushkar Lake is believed to cleanse all sins and grant moksha. Pushkar has a timeless, otherworldly atmosphere — a blend of Hindu pilgrimage, desert camel culture and a vibrant international backpacker scene, all co-existing in extraordinary harmony. The Pushkar Camel Fair held each November is one of the world's most spectacular festivals, attracting over 200,000 visitors and 50,000 camels to the desert outside town. The rose gardens produce India's finest rose attar (perfume). NorthYatra's Pushkar package combines the spiritual experience with the town's unique cultural richness.
