Pushkar Fair Schedule – 2009:

Oct 25^th through Oct 28^th: Cattle Fair. This is when all the activities with camels and other cattle will take place - the cattle trading, camel races, as well as various shows and competitions etc. The best days are going to be the 27th and 28th, so we have designed most of our tour itineraries to be in Pushkar during these days.

Oct 29^th through Nov 1^st: Cultural Fair. This is when all the government sponsored cultural activities will take place. There will be folk dance shows, music performances,  and other similar activities. Please bear in mind that you will get to experience (much more comfortably) similar performances at a number of the hotels we use during your exploration of India. Most agency's take you to the Fair on these dates despite the fact that most of the cattle and villagers have already left Pushkar.

Nov 2^nd: The Holy Day of the Fair. This is when the pilgrims and other devout Hindu's will take a dip in the lake at Pushkar.

This is how we do things at Pushkar -

We reserve the best rooms and the best luxury tents at the two best year around resorts at Pushkar.

We are not a tour wholesaler with no knowledge of Pushkar or India. The locals recognize us as the pre-eminent luxury agency operating at the Fair and our guests get privileges that are the envy of all other tourists at the Fair - we have hundreds of referrals that will be happy to verify this for you.

Our competitors hand you over to local agency's who use 1 staff member for 500 visitors. At the 2009 Fair, we will have more than 1 Tour Director/guide per 10 of our guests.

We don't nickel & dime you for things like entrance fees and camel cart rides. Our tours are pretty much all inclusive, and all three Tour Levels are full board while at Pushkar, with shared Tour Director services.

We have our own hospitality desk, as well as our own camel carts that take you to the fair and the village when you want to go.

An individual camel back safari in the desert is included, and you can ask for more than one.
