Pushkar Fair 2010

Join the fun!  This year we have 2 group trips

Sat 13-Mon 15 Nov - for those who want to see the animals while there are

            plenty of them and to stay in a campground that is in a quieter location

Fri 19 -Sun 21 Nov– for those who enjoy crowds and lots of activity and want

            to be close to it all!

- or ask about a mid-week option if preferred

Although generally referred to as the Pushkar Camel Fair, it is not restricted to camels, and you will find cattle, goats, sheep, Marwari horses, etc – and all the fun of the fair!   It is also a religious occasion.   Dazzling displays of bangles, brassware, clothes, camel saddles and ornaments vie for attention with dancers, singers, mehendi artists, acrobats, etc….

Transport will be by train to Ajmer and then by road to Pushkar.   Accommodation will be in Swiss tents with attached bathrooms with running water.
