I still recall a friend who visited Pushkar and reported back that the peaceful evening aarti at the lake was the highlight of his entire Rajasthan trip. If you’re planning to visit in 2026, don’t miss out on these top 11 places.
- Brahma Temple
In Pushkar, the Brahma Temple is an attraction of choice and, what’s also rare, a temple that worships Lord Brahma. It features a great red spire and, for over a few centuries, has been a site of devotion and tourism. We recommend you visit early in the morning to get that serene spiritual feel.

On Ratnagiri Hill stands the Savitri Mata Temple, which presents to you amazing panoramic views of Pushkar. You may choose to hike to the top or take the ropeway, which is great for both adventure and spiritual seekers.

A journey through the golden sand dunes on a camel is what many choose to do in Rajasthan to really see the desert culture. At sunrise and at sunset, these excursions are very popular, which also present beautiful scenes and a chance to see into the local village life.

While at the Pushkar Camel Fair, which is a grand affair, our fairgrounds come to life with decorated camels, folk music, cultural performances, competitions and dynamic local markets. Though out of season, the grounds still put on a display of Pushkar’s cultural heritage.
