Pushkar, the holy town in Rajasthan is located 11 kms from Ajmer and 130 kms from Jaipur. It is known for it's sacred lake. This little town is dotted with temples and is the only place in the country with a temple dedicated to Lord Brahma - the creator of the Universe. Legend has it that this lake was formed where Lord Brahma - the lord of creation - dropped a lotus on the day of the full moon.

All day long, thousands of devotees can be seen taking a dip in the holy lake. In the evening the entire town reverberates with the ringing of bells, as hundred of oil lamps light the banks of the lake.
We take this opportunity to bring one very important point to your attention, which we feel will help you plan your Pushkar tour better. Normally, tourists visit Pushkar two / three days prior to the full moon date, which is on November 30, 2001. However, the actual camel trading will start by November 24th, when camels arrive by the thousands and the fun and excitement of Pushkar begins. The main buying and selling of the animals will take place over the next 7 days and most of the camels would leave Pushkar by November 30, with only a hundred odd animals left for the balance two days. This may cause some disappointment amongst your clients who come to Pushkar towards the end of the Fair

It is suggested that for 2001, You include Pushkar for a minimum of two nights between November 24-30. This would give them an opportunity to see the 'actual' camel fair and also the chance to visit the sacred lake, where there are pilgrims who regularly undertake the early morning bathing rituals. This period will also be less crowded, as over 2 million locals come on the full moon date, making it virtually impossible to move.

Welcome to the SITA VILLAGE , Pushkar, which will operate from November 24-30, 2001 with 100 well appointed Swiss Tents making your stay in these rustic surroundings as comfortable as possible. Situated just 2 kms. From the fair grounds, the VILLAGE offers privacy and is at the same time close enough to where the action is. On arrival, your clients are greeted and given a traditional welcome. They are then quickly escorted to their accommodation. All our tents, which have the basic comforts, consist of a covered outer sitting area with two chairs and a table - ideal for relaxing. The bedrooms are twin bedded with good quality linen, a bed-side table with reading lamp and a separate side table. The attached bathroom has a WC, sink and shower with running hot and cold water (most other Camps only offer hot water buckets).

The colourful-tented Dining Hall serves excellent buffet breakfast and Indian and Continental vegetarian meals.

In the mornings, take our camel cart to the center of the town, where you mingle with the locals and see the trading of hundreds of camels - a tradition which goes back to the beginning of this Century. Stroll around the market place and enjoy a light-hearted banter as you bargain with the shopkeepers. A large number of stalls sell just about everything and the beat of loud music adds to the atmosphere.

Return to the peace and quiet of your Camp. After a rest, enjoy and participate in some of the events organised specially for you.. You also have time to browse around the 'bazaar' in the Camp, where local artisans make and sell their wares. After dinner, be entertained by dancers and musicians from the local villages, while you sit around bonfires in the wilderness of the desert.
