Pushkar

Pushkar is considered one of the holiest towns in India. Just two hours drive from Jaipur, the town of Pushkar centres around a lake, is bordered by deserts and mountain ranges and is quite the little stunner.

The prettiest of cows stroll casually down the streets and marketplace, occasionally popping heads into people’s homes to score a snack. Each street you turn down has at least two temples – there are over 500 temples in this one town!

The most decorated camels awaited to take us on a sunset stroll around the villages in Pushkar to Fiona’s house. With henna paintings, coolourful necklaces and floral nose adornments, these camels can make you feel a bit underdressed. We cooked our first Indian dinner together and it’s easy to say we felt right at home.
