Great well-paced day out with understanding and knowledgable guides - 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!!

Great experience - 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

My family had a wonderfull day! - 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 🙂

Pushkar in one 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 rode the camels. Recommend this to everyone that wants an experience out of the ordinary! /A

A good way to live Pushkar in a day - Great funny day in Pushkar. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, especially about the Brahma temple.
Sadly the Savriti temple was closed when we got the hill top and we cannot wait for the opening otherwise it woud be too late for the Camel safari. Anyway the tour guide asked to some temple attendants to open the back door so I could get a wonderfull picture of Pushkar city from the uppermost point of the hill.
The camel safari was nice but don't expect an experience such as in Sahara desert, because the trip was riding for minutes in the Pushkar fair 'arena' counting the time to get there and coming back.

Lovely day in Pushkar - Good driver and host, and the guide was great. We saw the Brahma temple and Pushkar lake as well as Savitri Mata Temple high up on a hill. Lunch was a great Thali.

Fantastic day trip with Rohit! - Fantastic trip! Rohit was an amazing guide and showed us a great time in Pushkar. We happened to visit during the fair and had so much fun seeing all the vendors! We booked the all inclusive tour and the camel ride, temple/lake, and lunch were all great. Highly recommend.

Puskar is interesting despite the long trip - 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

Unsafe cars - be careful - We booked this trip for 4 friends so we could see the sights of Pushkar. We were disappointed to find that they had sent a car that had a broken windscreen and the seatbelts were broken for passengers and the seats were all damaged. We insisted the car be changed to one that was safe as our travel insurance would not have covered us if anything were to happen. We insisted the car be changed which it was, although it meant we wasted 2 hours of the trip meaning we couldn't see all that we wanted to of this amazing town, and 2 of our party lost confidence and returned to their hotels.
The car was changed to to a better one but only after much pleading. Be wary of this company - they clearly cut corners

The worst tour experience - I have experience doing tours in different parts of the world, and it is the first time that I have had a bad experience, with a tour, I bought a package all included (guide, meals, driver, tickets and ride with a camel in the desert), I was never provided a guide, when we got to the first temple by myself (without guide) It closed after 5 minutes and I couldn't t see anything and I had to pay the tickets, There was also no camel ride in the desert. (they told us that it would take 1 hour to go to the desert, to get there with the camel, that's why they gave us a 10 minutes ride on the concrete street with the camel) That’s why I decided not to continue since it wasn't what I paid for. (walk in the desert, not on a street) I was not provided with food either because we did not continue with the tour, I lost my travel time and money in this experience.
No one is responsible for the full refund of this bad experience, neither the supplier and the viator company either
