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.

Jknairkerla's 5 days trip to Pushkar

It was a wonderful trip and excellent support from Mr Chanchal Hadda. Swaroop Vilas Hotel in Udaipur was good. But not really Lakefacing. It overlooks tha connecting portion between Pichola lake and one more lake. This portion is narrow and dirty, Lakefacing is not worth it. Chacha Inn was again a wonderful stay with excellent service and ambience. Thanks
