Jaipur to Pushkar: is it worth the trip?
Distance, travel time, day trip or overnight — and how to fit Pushkar into a Jaipur holiday.
Why go to Pushkar
Brahma Temple, the sacred lake ghats, and desert-edge cafes. One of the few Brahma temples in India, a holy lake ringed by ghats, and a laid-back cafe culture at the edge of the Thar desert.
Is it worth it?
Pushkar deserves a night — the 2.5-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
