The camel fair takes over the whole town
Pushkar fair ground, Pushkar, Rajasthan
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
The fair, held around the Kartik full moon in autumn, brings traders, pilgrims and photographers in large numbers. Rooms book out early and prices rise across town.
The lesson
Book well ahead for fair dates, or visit outside them for a quieter Pushkar.
Advice for future travellers
Pushkar is a vegetarian town; meat, eggs and alcohol aren't served in the centre.
