Pushkar Lake, an iconic destination in the heart of Rajasthan, is considered most auspicious and serene during the cooler months of the year, particularly between October and March. During this time, the weather in Pushkar is mild and pleasant, making it an ideal time for sightseeing and participation in the various spiritual and cultural activities that take place around the lake. October also marks the beginning of the famous annual Pushkar Camel Fair, a vibrant festival attracting thousands of visitors, which usually takes place in the late October to early November timeframe. This fair is not only about the trading of livestock but also encompasses a plethora of cultural events, making it a must-see for any tourist in the region.
Visitors looking for a more peaceful experience can choose the months immediately following the camel fair, i.e., from December to March, when the crowds have dissipated, and the town returns to its tranquil state. This period is also favorable due to the comfortable daytime temperatures that range from 10°C to 25°C. Despite occasional chilly nights, the daytime is perfect for exploring the ghats, temples, and the marketplaces that surround the lake. During this season, the mornings by the lake are ethereal, with the sacred waters reflecting the vivid colours of the dawn—perfect for those seeking a spiritual retreat or photographic opportunities.
