About Pushkar Tourism

History of Pushkar

The Old Town of Pushkar is dotted with historic temples and a planned city comprise of elegant shopping centers, gardens, and parks. It is a perfect place to have a Pushkar one day tour. Also known as the Town Of Fairs And Festivities, according to legends, the great Lord Brahma, who is believed to be the creator of the entire Universe had dropped a lotus on the ground which had lead to an immediate creation of a lake. Then he decided to name that place after that particular flower, and hence the city got its name, Pushkar. The city is home to the only temple that is dedicated to the great Lord Brahma in the whole world. Several Hindus consider their visit to Pushkar as the ultimate pilgrimage which must be undertaken to achieve salvation.

Gurunathan's 3 days trip to Pushkar

The hotels in general were not at a three star level except for Shani Vilas in Ranthambore. The hotel in Agra did not even have hot water. The initial room provided in Delhi's metro view was very bad and we had to request for a change. The toilet flush was not working, the bathroom door did not have a latch, the door was broken etc. Please ensure that the right level of hotels are provided.

Mozhiarasu's 5 days trip to Pushkar

The best thing happened is the drivers in the jodpur, who resolved the messed up plan by the travel agent. Hotel Sia Resorts changed and we have been changed to different resort,which was older property. The daywise plan made by the travel agent was absurd and created lot of confusion.

Anushka's 4 days trip to Pushkar

We have booked a tour to Rajasthan through Trip Sailor.com. The accommodation given was really good,the itinerary was nicely curated. But the driver was not up to the mark, he was driving very rashly. The driver as a person was good, he listened to us whenever we asked for anything but road awareness and road safety is important for a tourist driver. Other than that everything was really nice and smooth. It was a hassle free trip to Rajasthan. We really liked your service. Thankyou Sandeep from Trip Sailor.Com City Palace Jaipur was magnificent

Shraddha's 6 days trip to Pushkar

We recently had an incredible trip to Rajasthan planned through Back to Holidays, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. A special thanks to Preeti from their team, who organized everything flawlessly. From the beginning, Preeti guided us with great recommendations, especially when it came to hotels. She assured us to trust her choices, and we are so glad we did! The hotels were amazing, with excellent rooms, great service, and delicious food. The vehicle arranged for our travel was comfortable, and our driver was extremely polite and professional. Throughout the trip, Preeti was always available whenever we needed any assistance, making sure everything went smoothly. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the desert camp. It was an unforgettable experience, and we are so thankful to Preeti for recommending it. Everything about it was perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I traveled with my family(with 2.5 year old and senior citizen), and we all absolutely loved the entire journey. My parents were especially happy and had a wonderful time without a single complaint. This trip was a truly memorable one, and we highly recommend Preeti from Back to Holidays for a well-planned, stress-free vacation. Thank you, Preeti, and the team for making this trip so special!

Srikumar's 3 days trip to Pushkar

Sidhu (Being Musafir) was a great person for planning the trip in Rajasthan to Agra and Delhi (final drop off at the airport). We did a trip in Rajasthan, Agra and Delhi which was organised by Sidhu. We had many changes in the initial planning phase. Sidhu was very patient and provided the right information, which helped us nail the final plan. He shared the hotels as per our requirements and budget. All the hotels were superb. Only once we had issues with the hotel, and after informing Sidhu, he re-booked us to a five star hotel instantly. It was a dream come true! Everyday, Sidhu used to call and inquire, of any issues we are having. And the driver+car provided by Sidhu for the trip, was just what we wanted for the trip! The Driver (Rakesh) never said "no" to any of our requests. He gave us all the right suggestions, being a local in Rajasthan, which also helped us very much. We could not have asked for more from Sidhu and Rakesh.

Hasale free booking and had a great time during my trip. The hotels and the guide during my trip were exceptional. The only issue is had was with the driver who was not local and did not know the routes which made it a bit difficult coz I had to rely on Google maps all the time. I loved the Jaisalmer hotel and also the guide. He was very knowledgeable
