cab which cost me INR 2000 ($28), and it took three hours which could have been a bit less if the final 5 km weren\u2019t under maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning to reach here via train or air, then you need to land at Ajmer Railway station which is just 15 km and the closest airport is Sanganer Airport, Jaipur which is 150 km.<\/p>\n<p>Road condition from Jaipur to Ajmer is quite good, and I also stopped at this small restaurant on Jaipur Ajmer highway for breakfast (Khyber resort).<\/p>\n<h2>Best time to visit<\/h2>\n<p>Best time to visit Pushkar is in November, as an annual Pushkar Camel Festival is organised here which is attended by millions from all over the globe.<\/p>\n<h2>Accommodation in Pushkar<\/h2>\n<p>Pushkar doesn&#8217;t have many modern-day hotels. But you can check this link from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.in\/Hotels-g319729-Pushkar_Rajasthan-Hotels.html\"><strong>Tripadvisor India<\/strong><\/a> to check a few which are just ok.\u00a0FYI, I didn\u2019t stay here as I needed to drive towards Jodhpur which is a 6-hour journey from here.<\/p>\n<p>But nevertheless, Pushkar is worth visiting as its one of those unique cities in India which doesn&#8217;t care where its travellers arrive from.<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-1 { overflow:visible;
