Relaxing 2-Day Itinerary in Pushkar - May 2023

  1. Day 1: Visit to Pushkar Lake

    Start your vacation with a visit to the Pushkar Lake, which is considered one of the oldest and holiest lakes in India. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, take a peaceful walk around the lake, and soak in the serenity of your surroundings. It is believed that taking a dip in its holy waters washes away sins and bestows blessings. As the sun sets, attend the beautiful Aarti ceremony that takes place near the lake every evening, which is a spectacular sight.

  2. Day 2: Relaxation at Gulaab Niwaas Palace
    15 minutes (3.8 miles) from Pushkar Lake

    Get pampered in the luxurious and serene surroundings of the Gulaab Niwaas Palace. Enjoy a relaxing massage or rejuvenating spa treatment, or simply unwind in its lush gardens. The palace features a spa, swimming pool, and a restaurant that serves delicious Rajasthani cuisine. You can also stroll around the hotel's museum, which showcases local culture and history.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting the Brahma Temple, which is situated near the lake. For a unique experience, take a hot air balloon ride over the desert landscape of Pushkar.

Remember to dress modestly and remove shoes before entering temples.
