Pushkar and Ajmer Private Day Trip

Renowned for their beautiful Hindu and Muslim temples, Puskar and Ajmer are two of Rajasthan's most sacred cities. Discover them on this fascinating private tour!

Description

After being picked up from your hotel in Jaipur, you'll head into the heart of the Indian state of Rajasthan.

Your first stop will be in the sacred city of Pushkar, considered one of the country's oldest settlements. Its origins are surrounded by a number of legends, specifically related to Lord Brahma, the Hindu creator. The Jagatpita Brahma Mandir, one of few temples dedicated to Brahma, is located where Brahma is said to have performed a yagna. Inside, you can explore the customs and traditions of Hinduism.

Just a five-minute walk from the Brahma Temple is the sacred Pushkar lake. Observe locals participating in purification rituals and bathing at the ghats, which are steps leading down to the water.

Next, take a brief stroll to Pushkar market, offering various handicrafts and handmade items. You will have free time to enjoy lunch (not included) after exploring the bazaar.

Afterward, head to the nearby city of Ajmer, known for its religious significance. Visit the iconic Dargah Sharif, the shrine dedicated to the Muslim saint Moinuddin Chishti, where you can enter and admire the interior.

From Ajmer, you'll return to your hotel in Jaipur.
