Accommodation
Private Vehicle
Sightseeing
Daily Breakfast
Tour Overview
This 8 Days Pushkar Camel Fair & Golden Triangle Tour combines Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with one of Rajasthan's most distinctive seasonal gatherings in Pushkar. The itinerary is designed for travellers who want to experience the fair as part of a wider private India journey rather than visit Pushkar as a rushed day trip.
The route includes Delhi heritage, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's forts and palaces, and two nights in Pushkar during the fair period. The exact festival programme is matched to the confirmed annual schedule because livestock activity, cultural performances, competitions and religious events can take place on different days and at different times each year.
Pushkar Fair is more than a single camel market. Depending on the annual programme, travellers may encounter livestock trading areas, decorated animals, local competitions, folk performances, markets, pilgrims and activity around Pushkar Lake and the ghats.
The itinerary keeps the Pushkar days flexible so you can spend time at the fairgrounds without missing the cultural side of the town. A local guide will help explain the traditions, identify worthwhile areas and adapt the plan around crowd levels and current event timings.
During the fair, road access, parking and hotel availability can change quickly. Private transport is arranged throughout the journey, but some walking should be expected near the fairgrounds and ghats. Any specific ticketed or restricted events are confirmed separately when the annual schedule becomes available.
Tour Highlights:
- Private Golden Triangle journey with Pushkar Camel Fair.
- Old and New Delhi sightseeing with a private guide.
- Private Taj Mahal visit in Agra.
- Amber Fort and Jaipur heritage sightseeing.
- Two-night stay in Pushkar during the fair period.
- Guided exploration of fairgrounds, markets and ghats.

Important Festival Planning:
- Fair dates and programme vary annually.
- Livestock activity may be strongest on different days from the main religious or cultural events.
- Some roads and vehicle access can be restricted during the busiest fair days.

- Pushkar Lake and temple visits should follow local religious customs and photography rules.
