Guided walking tour of Pushkar’s temples and ghats, with masala chai, Malpua, and time by Pushkar Lake in a small group.
“My mother and I visited Pushkar and thoroughly enjoyed taking this tour. I hoped we'd understand more about this unique and holy place by being guided to its important places and learning more about ways of life and worship here. We chose to take the option of participating in a blessing ceremony, which was explained clearly and performed beautifully. We also enjoyed hearing about Manishh's studies and family. The pace of the tour and detail of information was just right. I am confident that other travellers will also have a positive experience taking this tour.”
