Camel Rides
Hop on a camel and explore the beautiful sand dunes of Pushkar. The bumpy and rhythmic ride atop a camel will take you through the vast desert, where the sound of the sands swishing against the camel’s feet will accompany you. Engage in conversations with the camel men and learn about the local folklore and history of the town.
Hot Air Balloon Rides
When you are in Pushkar, a hot air balloon ride is a must during the camel fair. Get away from the crowd and glide swiftly over the vast desert, with an amazing bird’s eye view of the famous Pushkar Fair. These balloon rides are usually organised towards the end of the fair and the best hour to take a ride is during sunrise, when the soft rays of the sun gently light up the temples, ghats, and the ancient architecture surrounding the Pushkar lake. Grab this once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience and capture the best pictures.
Jeep Safari

Book a jeep safari and drive through the undulating desert, exploring the remote villages, splendid old forts, palaces, and temples. It is one of the more popular activities for adventure enthusiasts and shutterbugs.
