Place to visit in Rajasthan | Rajasthan Places |

 When someone talks about Rajasthan the first thing that pops up in my mind is the humid climate because it is close to equator and also a part of Thar desert. That’s what we have been told in Schools right?

Yes it is hot I admit, but the only reason I admitted that it is hot because Rajasthan is a place like no other State in India. The vibes in Rajasthan hit you like a Maharaj's of olden times. I was a normal traveller till my journey started, but when i reached Rajasthan i felt like a maharaja who will very soon be ruling one of those places.

 

Rajasthan is the largest state in India which have a unique culture. They nightlife in Rajasthan villages is something I loved. One of the place I visited was Pushkar Lake.

 

Pushkar Lake - The Holy Lake

 

Pushkar Lake is an Artificial Lake which was built ages back in 12th century while building a dam across the Luni River. This beautiful place in Rajasthan attracts many tourists from all over the world. There are some Pushkar Festivals celebrated one of them is the world’s largest camel fair, apart from buying and selling of livestock’s, competitions such as matka phod, longest moustache, bridal competition are the main draws.

Pushkar through my eyes!

Pushkar is also safe for female solo travellers, but have to stay in a good decent hotel or Resort in Pushkar and anyways it’s a small village. Well, the best time to visit Pushkar is from November till March as the weather is quiet friendlier and also the deserts for long safari.

Nights In Pushkar are Cold and Lively

The best thing about Pushkar is the Pushkar Mela. Luckily when I was In Pushkar I got to witness the amazing Pushkar Mela where there are tourists from different countries and also crowded by the locals. Nights in Pushkar are just something which makes me go there again once in a year.

Nights in Pushakr are mostly filled with colourful lights in the main town outside the Temple besides the Lake.

There are Locals who stay besides the lake and one can get a kind of drone view from there and enjoy the Arti which is being performed. Its quiet blissful. This sight reminds me of River Ganges (Ganga). The Sadhus doing their rituals, aghoris (baba’s) all around you chanting their mantra, flowers and dias flowing in the lake, people bathing in the lake assuming that they have washed all their sins and come back clean. Some people also perform the last cremation of the dead people.

Streets Of Pushkar

Once you’re on the streets outside the Temple road you’ll find many small shops besides the road which is filled with variety of cloths, food stalls, swords, psychedelic painting shops, book shops and a lot more. Prices are also reasonable. But this streets are normally overcrowded by the local youth after 11 at night. So I would recommend for females not to hangout around alone during such time. You can accompany with any other female or be in a group. Also the street is quiet narrow and there are amazing lightings put above on the road which makes the place look lively.         

Talking about the food and restaurants in Pushkar there are many restaurants where you can dine in as well as cafes to chill out with some hashes and hookas. They also serve amazing rolls and at a reasonable price. There are cafes in small buildings and terrace cafes and restaurants which gives you amazing site while you have your dinner.

Jaipur to Pushkar

The distance from Jaipur to Pushkar is around 148km. It takes 3 hours to travel by bus. Travelling by local buses is the best if you want to have a really good time interacting with locals and experience their lifestyle. You can book a taxi which will take little less time as compared with buses. Lots of tourist also prefer auto rickshaw as its quiet cheaper then booking taxi. You can also get OLA, UBBER service.

And also when you visit Pushkar don't forget to snap yourself with the Rajasthani outfit.
