About Pushkar Camel Fair 2026

Camels arrive by the thousand, traded and groomed in a desert fairground that fills weeks before the main days. Herders travel from across Rajasthan, camping out with their animals and haggling over prices from dawn. Alongside the trading, the fair fills with folk music, turban-tying contests, and camel races that draw crowds to the dunes.

Marigold-strung stalls sell silver, textiles and sweets late into the night, and the full moon at the fair's peak brings pilgrims to bathe in the sacred lake.

Where to stay nearby

Pushkar and nearby Ajmer make the two practical bases for this desert gathering, each offering a different rhythm for visitors. Staying in Pushkar itself puts you right among the fairground and lake, while Ajmer offers a calmer, more affordable alternative just a short trip away.

Pushkar — about 0 km away

Right at the centre of the action, Pushkar suits travellers who want to walk to the fairground and lake without relying on transport, though its narrow streets get crowded and busy during major events.

Ajmer — about 10 km away

Ajmer offers a wider choice of hotels and a quieter base, with the short 10km journey to Pushkar easily covered by taxi, bus or auto-rickshaw.
