Sky Waltz - Hot Air Ballooning
christophersam Says: My husband and I have shared many daring ventures together, but this was something really special. What I loved about this ride was the fact that it was both peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. We took this ride with Skywaltz Hot Air Ballooning Company. Their Balloon...
ChartIt Says: So Pushkar is home to the a massive camel fair and the place can get pretty crowded. It is worth a shot to ask around and see about getting a good deal on the camel rides. Our two hour sunset camel tour cost 100 rupes. I tipped my camel drive about that, he was a small kid...

Raju Terrace Garden restaurant: Slow service but OK
Willettsworld Says: After eating at the superb Rainbow restaurant the night before, I came here with the thought that this place had to do a lot to win me over. I had a "Shepherd's Pie", which in England is normally made from minced beef, but here was strickly a veggie dish so it was merely...
ChartIt Says: A nifty little place you have to walk up to the third floor to eat there. It as a nice view, and a laid back attitude. I havent been back since 2005 so I hope it still there because really it was some of the best food I had in India. The food was of good quailty as were the...

Sunset Cafe: Sunset over Pushkar Lake
WaRPer Says: Despite its great location, the Sunset Café also serves great veggie dishes (of course!!) This tourist-packed restaurant is right in front of Kishangarh Ghat, the city’s fav hangout spot for watching the sunset over the holy Pushkar Lake. The opening hours is 7:30 a.m. to...

PeteG Says: Pushkar is brilliant to walk around, but why not treat yourself to a camel cart ride to save your legs.It is not the lap of luxury, but you get to see a different view of the town and the fair.It is really cheap, maybe 100 rupees from the furthest campsites into town.

The guys trying to get you to the Lake!
ChartIt Says: So when you walk through the streets in Pushkar you have to be aware that there will be a lot of young men trying to convince you to go with them to the lake so you can be blessed. Be aware though that the holy person will try and get you to repeat several phrases in Hindi...
PeteG Says: Please be careful, particularly women travellers. As you may know, lassi is a favourite drink in India which is yoghurt based. It is delicious. However, in Pushkar, a local variation on this drink is called Bang Lassi. Basically a lassi with loads of dope etc in it. It is...
WaRPer Says: DO NOT ever take the flowers from holymen even offered for FREE. Take off your shoes when entering the ghat, and from there you are likely to face with ‘fake’ holymen who try to take you in the Hinduism ritual something. Start with a handful of petals, saying “No money, no...
PeteG Says: If you are by the lake you may be approached by a holy man. He will take you down to the lakes edge and want to bless you. Nothing wrong with this. However, they seem to want loads of money for giving you this blessing! Often they will ask 2000 rupees, but according to a...
