About Pushkar

The old and mysterious town of Pushkar is an important pilgrimage centre for Hindus. It has a diversified mythological past and is believed to have been crafted by the universe’s creator, Lord Brahma. Scripture says the spiritual heart of the town, the Pushkar Lake, was formed where the petals of his lovely lotus flower fell. Pilgrims from around the globe gather at the 52 bathing ghats that line this sacred lake to take part in ritualistic events and have a holy dip. Hundreds of temples are scattered along the skyline of the town, but the distinctive Jagat Pita Mandir is the most famous.

One of the only few in the world, dedicated to Lord Brahma. Apart from its deep religious significance, Pushkar has a unique, relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. Its narrow winding streets are a dazzling tapestry of color, noise and scent with busy bazaars offering everything from ornate silver jewellery, leather items and vibrant textiles to perfumy rose products. Pushkar is a fascinating place owing to its unique blending of religiosity and global backpacking culture, especially during the Pushkar Camel Fair.

About Bharatpur

It is renowned globally for hosting the UNESCO World Heritage Site – Keoladeo Ghana National Park. A paradise for wildlife buffs and ornithologists, this 29-square-kilometre mosaic of grasslands, forests and wetlands was once called the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary.

While thousands of migrant birds, among them the famous Siberian Cranes of yesteryear, descend upon the sanctuary during the winter, between the months of October to March is the peak season. The park‘s wetlands are replenished when the initial monsoon rains set in, beating back the searing summer temperatures. Most of the resident bird species are breeding at this time, and you can still hear the park fill up with Kingfishers, herons, egrets, and storks.
