Ajmer / Pushkar Tour Packages

Often called the twin towns of Rajasthan, Ajmer and Pushkar are two of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the state. Although both of these places are famous for different things, most people consider visiting them together due to their close proximity. While Ajmer is majorly known for being home to a Sufi shrine dedicated to Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, Pushkar is famous for the temple of Lord Brahma. In addition to this, Ajmer and Pushkar are both equally famous for their amazing culinary scenes and breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes. 

Best time to Book Ajmer Pushkar Tour Package    

The best time to book a tour to Ajmer and Pushkar depends on the kind of trip you are planning. However, these places experience the highest visitor influx from October to March. During these months, the weather is considered ideal for sightseeing in Ajmer and Pushkar. You can easily explore the city at any time of the day and enjoy several outdoor activities. In addition to that, the Pushkar Camel Fair, which is one of the most famous festivals in Rajasthan, is also held in the month of November. So, if you plan your trip around this time, you can enjoy this event as well.

Or, if you want to spend some quiet time while being surrounded by the rain-washed natural beauty, you can also go there in the monsoon season. From July to September, you will get to witness an abundance of greenery. However, heavy downpours can make it a bit difficult for you to move around the city.

Places to Visit

Here is a list of some of the major tourist attractions that you should definitely include in the itinerary of your Ajmer Pushkar tour package:

Lake Foy Sagar

Lake Foy Sagar is an artificial lake that was created in 1892 as part of a famine relief project. This beautiful water body has been named after Mr. Foy, an engineer who was in charge of this project. Currently, this lake is one of the most popular picnic spots near Ajmer, where you can simply sit by and relax.

Dargah Sharif

The city of Ajmer is majorly known for Dargah Sharif, one of the most revered Sufi shrines in the country. It is the grave of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti and is frequented by a number of believers seeking spiritual solace throughout the year. However, this place experiences the maximum visitor influx during the annual festival of Urs, which commemorates the death anniversary of the saint.

Ana Sagar Lake

Located in the heart of Ajmer city, Ana Sagar Lake is another picnic spot that is popular among locals and tourists alike. This artificial lake was built by Anaji Chauhan (the grandfather of Prithvi Raj Chauhan) and has been named after him. Sprawled over an area of 2 hectares, it is also one of the oldest man-made lakes in Asia. Here, you can indulge in several recreational activities, like boating and camel rides.

Pushkar Lake

Pushkar Lake is another iconic landmark with great religious significance that you can include in your Ajmer Pushkar sightseeing itinerary. It is believed that this lake was created by the tears of Lord Shiva when he mourned the death of his wife, Shakti. Another story is that Pushkar Lake was created when Lord Brahma dropped a few lotus petals from his hands. 

Brahma Temple

Located very close to Pushkar Lake, Brahma Temple is one of the major attractions in Pushkar. Also known as Jagatpita Brahma Mandir, this is the only temple of Lord Brahma in the whole world. According to mythology, Lord Brahma was cursed not to have any temples on Earth except for this one. This is also the reason why this temple receives heavy footfall throughout the year.
