Pushkar, Rajasthan – Attend the famous Camel Fair
Fair Dtae :- 15 Nov 2018 – 23 Nov 2018
Held each November at the time of the Kartik Purnima full moon, is one of India’s most highly-rated experiences, a spectacle on an epic scale, attracting thousands of camels, horses and cattle and visited by over 400,000 people over a period of around fourteen days.
For visitors it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the colour, spectacle and carnival of one of the last great traditional melas, which brings livestock, farmers, traders and villagers from all over Rajasthan. We believe that every aspect of such an experience should be special.
The Pushkar fair is one of India's largest camel, horse and cattle fairs. Apart from the trading of livestock, it is an important pilgrimage season for Hindus to the Pushkar lake. Pushkar fair has also become a significant tourist attraction for domestic and international travelers, given the cooler season, the abundance of colorful cultural themes. Cultural events and competitions include dances, tug of war between women teams as well as men teams, the "matka phod", "longest moustache" competition, "bridal competition", camel races and others.
In February 2019 you can also join us for an exceptional experience of Nagaur Cattle Fair, another of the great regional trading fairs, with even more camels than Pushkar and a deeply traditional feel.
