Pushkar dagstur från Jaipur – privatbil, Safari, Guide & Lunch

This tour was very good, the private transfers and guide make the experience very pleasant... the camel ride is very fun.

Visited Pushkar Sarovar and market. It's flooded with non invited guides who will accompany you without you confirming them and will charge anywhere from Rs.50 to 150 to take you to some ghat where they have a tie up with and to some temples to hand you over to some Pandit ji, Who will perform some non desired Pujas for you and "push" you for donations starting Min. Rs. 2100... The more emotional or spiritual you are the more you will shell out.... So if you are coming for pure leisure without any intent of some rituals, better roam around by yourself without any so called local guide. Don't fell prey to these Pandit Ji at any of the ghats. Market otherwise was good and vibrant. Crowded with lots of people and animals (Cows and dogs).. so you have to be very careful while walking with young kids or elderly people.

The whole trip was seamless and well worth doing. The driver Noordeen was very pleasant, always attentive and his English was very good. He followed us from the various events and was on hand when necessary. The guide was Manish who was excellent as he was local was very passionate and informative, we enjoyed our time together. I would really recommend this tour as it has varied experiences.

Our pick up was at 7.30am at the hotel and our driver for the day was Noordeen Khan. He is a very pleasant, soft spoken man who was fluent in English. This was an important criteria for us as neither of us were proficient in Hindi. He was also very attentive to our needs and made us feel safe. He was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout our three hour long drive to Pushkar. We highly recommend him and will hire him again on our next visit. Noordeen arranged us, a guide, Rajesh who is a local tour guide Rajesh, who briefed us on the background of Pushkar, its spiritual significance and guided us into Brahma temple. We had the great fortune of standing in front of the garba griha to have direct darshan of Sri Brahma Dev and Gayathri Devi. Next, Rajesh took us to Pushkar Lake or also known as Brahma Sarovar. Along the way there were many shops selling various items. At the lake, we took Rajesh’s suggestion to engage another priest to perform Pitr Tarpan, a ritual for deceased ancestors. The fee paid for this service is done to the priest society which takes care of the welfare of the community, temple and the lake maintenance. Next as per the itinerary, we were meant to go for a camel ride but we were not keen on it. We had requested earlier during the journey to Pushkar for a stop at Varaha Temple as a substitute for a camel ride. Unfortunately we were informed that the temple is closed between 11am to 4pm. We left for Savitri Mata temple but here too we were too late. The ropeway ticket had closed for the afternoon. We were deeply disappointed as both these temples were important to us. In future, if we were to redo this trip from Jaipur, we would probably stay overnight. This way, we can manage Brahma temple and Sarovar before noon. Next day, visit Varaha temple and Savitri Devi temple.

We were offered “a tour guide” for free who then only showed us the Brahma temple and the lake. His mission was to convince us multiple times to make donations which we very well know was a scam. Really left a bitter taste in our mouth and ruined our Pushkar trip.

Excellent day trip from Jaipur. The driver and tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. We were able to see many different sites in one day and the included lunch was delicious. Highly recommend for a unique day experience.

Great day out at Pushkar in comfortable car. Although driving was fast, it was comfortable and I did not get car sick at all (I usually do) Activities in Pushkar are well paced - Hindhu Gayathri temple to start off - Holy Lake next with (optional) donation and merit making. - Vegetarian lunch at local restaurant - Savitri temple the local guides were super helpful in explaining about the sites and helping my mother who has difficulties walking after 3-4 days of walking in Jaipur and Agra. Overall a great day!!

We really enjoyed this day trip. Smooth pick-up and trip from our hotel in Jaipur to the holy city of Pushkar with a private driver. The guide met us inside of Pushkar and we went through all the main attractions of the holy place. The guide explain really well the meaning of the buildings, temples, culture, religion and some of the rituals. He also showed us local stores of the market for some nice souvenirs. We took the cable car to the temple up in the mountain and the camel ride to the desert. I recommend this tour to everyone

The driver was friendly and had a nice car. The guide was good at explaining what happened around us, and especialy we liked how he arranged a temple priest to help us through a cerremony. He did not ask us first if this was something we would like, and if he had done so we would probably have said no - yet this was the high light of the tour. The Camel ride was great - had it ben 15 minutes sorter it would have ben just as great🙂 Lunch was at a very good resturent as well. We did not fully understand that the guide would not meet us at the end of the cable car ride, so we missed the opertunity to tip him. The only Thing that we would have liked was 30 minutes at the Market, but we ran out of time 🙂

My day trip to Pushkar was quite interesting, although the journey was a bit long. However, our guide was very friendly and the restaurant we visited was also quite nice. On the other hand, the jeep tour in the desert felt unnecessary. Spending an hour driving full speed over a sand dune wasn't particularly enjoyable or insightful. I believe a tour of the streets of Pushkar would have been more interesting and enriching
